“We are really happy with the IGS-150 system. We find the system easy to use and fantastic for capturing motion data.” The IGS-150 has made a big impact on a number of projects, it has also allowed us to push boundaries further and make animation projects with some characters more cost effective for our customers, opening new markets and possibilities.”
