Elecholic Tech has announced the retail availability of its EXCAP full-body tracking system, a significant development for VR creators seeking professional-grade motion capture technology. Originally funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign in January 2025, the EXCAP system has quickly moved from concept to consumer, with all units shipped to backers by early June.
The EXCAP system introduces several innovative features, including Proprietary Optical-Inertial Fusion technology, which auto-corrects IMU drift in real time by combining vision data and magnetometer readings. This ensures high-level accuracy without the need for base stations. Additionally, the system boasts an ultra-light design, with each of the eight wireless trackers weighing only 25 g, and offers up to 50 hours of battery life on a single USB-C charge.
Further enhancing the user experience, the EXCAP system includes customizable RGB lighting and a built-in haptic module for tactile feedback, deepening immersion in virtual environments. The system supports universal SteamVR and OpenXR, making it compatible with popular games like VRChat. Priced at US $359 with free worldwide shipping, the EXCAP system is now available directly from shop.elecholic.tech.
This launch marks a pivotal moment for VR technology, as it democratizes access to high-quality motion capture tools, previously the domain of professionals, to a broader audience of creators and enthusiasts. The implications for the VR industry are significant, potentially accelerating the development of more immersive and interactive virtual experiences.
