Integrate with 3rd Party Gloves

Using third-party gloves with MOVIN Studio allows you to capture not only full-body motion, but also precise wrist and finger movements—even in cases where the hands are occluded or not directly visible to the camera.

MOVIN currently supports the following third-party glove systems:

3rd Party Gloves
Support

Rokoko

If you are using a different glove system and would like support, please share your request via the MOVIN discord server.

For best results, make sure to set your hand rest pose to match the glove type. For detailed instructions, refer to the Set Hand Rest Pose page.

Integrate with Rokoko Smartgloves

To use Rokoko Smartgloves, you must have an active Plus subscription for Rokoko Studio. For subscription details, please visit Rokoko's official site.

1. Select 'Rokoko' in the 'Hand Tracking' dropdown.

  • Navigate to the 'Additional' tab in MOVIN Studio, and select 'Rokoko' in the third-party glove dropdown.

2. Install Rokoko Studio and pair Smartgloves.

  • Install Rokoko Studio on your PC.

  • Launch the app and create a new project. Next, create an actor named 'MOVIN'

    • Be careful to write the name as capital letters. Integration may not work it 'MOVIN' is not written in uppercase.

  • Pair your Rokoko Smartgloves to Rokoko Studio.

Please check the gloves are connected to the actor 'MOVIN' on the left panel of Rokoko Studio.

  • Drag and drop the gloves from 'Capture devices' section to 'MOVIN' actor.

    • If the gloves emojis are marked beside 'MOVIN' actor, gloves are connected well.

  • Please refer to Rokoko's official documentation for the details.

3. Enable Unity Streaming in Rokoko Studio.

  • In Rokoko Studio, Click the 'Streaming' tab on the right side, then click the gear icon (Settings) under the Unity section. Set the IP and port as shown below, and check the 'Include connection' box.

    • IP: 127.0.0.1(localhost)

    • Port: 14043

  • Activate the Unity stream by checking the 'Activate' box.

  • Return to MOVIN Studio and confirm that wrist and finger motion is now reflected on the skeleton.

4. Click 'Calibrate ROKOKO' if the calibration is needed.

  • MOVIN Studio allows you to calibrate your Rokoko gloves directly within the app—no need to switch back to Rokoko Studio.

    • In the same 'Additional' tab, click 'Calibrate ROKOKO' at the bottom of the dropdown.

    • Hold the Rokoko calibration pose for 3 seconds to complete the process.

Integrate with MANUS Smart Gloves

To use MANUS Smart Gloves, you need a MANUS Core license that supports live streaming to Unity. In the License section, make sure the Unity plugin is marked as 'active'.

1. Select 'MANUS' in the 'Hand Tracking' dropdown.

  • Open the 'Additional' tab in MOVIN Studio, and select 'MANUS' in the 'Hand Tracking' dropdown.

2. Install MANUS Core and pair the gloves.

Check the version of MANUS Core is 3.0.0 or higher. If you use a lower version than 3.0.0, integration with MOVIN may not work properly.

  • Launch the software and pair your MANUS gloves with the system.

  • Once connected, check MOVIN Studio to ensure that wrist and finger movements are mirrored on the skeleton.

If the gloves work in MANUS Core but not in MOVIN Studio, a port conflict may be preventing data transmission. In this case, try restarting your desktop to resolve the issue.

3. Calibration the glove in MANUS Core.
