Sony is about to record your moves with Mocopi, the newest metaverse invention from Sony as a wearable motion-tracking gadget. "This technique records the movements of the complete body using little, lightweight equipment. According to a statement released by Sony on November 29, "We would introduce Mocopi Kits and release them to users in January 2023 at an affordable price of 49,500 yen ($360).
Sony's Mocopi includes six body sensors for the head, hip, wrists, and ankles. Each sensor weighs just 8 grams and uses a velcro band or clip to secure it to the body parts. Users can connect mocopi to any smartphone over Bluetooth and then use third-party apps to create videos of a digital avatar. It is one of the best motion-tracking metaverse wearables.
The Mocopi sensors measure 32mm (around 1.2 inches) in diameter and weigh just 8g, making them lighter than an Apple AirTag despite being of a similar size. The system is portable thanks to being completely wireless and not requiring a base station, and the trackers can be fully charged in around 90 minutes via the USB-C charging case. Sony claims Mocopi can achieve up to 10 hours of battery life, though this will depend on the usage environment.
"These sensors will work to animate avatars inside various metaverse apps on Android smartphones and iPhones. The low-cost accessory, which requires a phone, is a great way to experience the metaverse, the 3D version of the web where you can interact with digital surroundings within your real-world surroundings," revealed the company.
"Normally, video production using motion capture requires dedicated equipment and operators," Sony said in its release. "By utilizing our proprietary algorithm, Mocopi creates highly accurate motion measurement with a small number of sensors, freeing VTubers (virtual streamers) and creators involved in movie and animation production from time and place constraints."
