- The VZSuit is a two-piece suit made of Lycra that offers the possibility of attaching LED MArkers with Velcro everywhere except at the crooks of the arms, while still providing freedom of movement for acting.
- The new VZGloves likewise consist of Velcro-compatible fabric on the back of the hand and mesh fabric over the palm, so that small markers can be freely arranged on top while the actor still retains the sense of touch in the palm.
- Finally, a new system was added with the SWMarkers (Semi-Wireless Markers), closing the gap between wired and fully wireless markers. One pair of cables can supply up to ten SWMArkers, and three pairs of cables can be supplied by a single set of batteries.
