New Sony Mocopi Transfers Human Movements to Metaverse; Here's How VR Device Works

The new Sony Mocopi has been unveiled to enhance the metaverse experience of users.

All these tiny motion trackers work together using a single system. Once they are properly in their places, they can transfer your movements to the avatar of your choice.

Thanks to these motion-tracking bands, virtual avatars can copy your physical movements more efficiently.

"By utilizing our proprietary algorithm, 'Mocopi' realizes highly accurate motion measurement with a small number of sensors," said Sony.

How Mocopi Works

Sony explained that its Mocopi bands are designed to track human movement to operate avatars or create virtual characters.

These motion trackers can do this in real-time with metaverse apps, such as VRChat. The tech giant company added that Mocopi also has a dedicated app that works on smartphones.

Sony also shared that it will release the official SDK (software development kit) of Mocopi on Dec. 15. This SDK will allow users to link their motion capture data with metaverse services.

Dexerto reported that Sony's new Mocopi device could be a game changer for VTubers. As of writing, 3D VTubers lag behind their 2D competitors.

This is because their 3D avatars' movements can't efficiently copy their physical actions, which leads to low-quality performance.

With Sony's new Mocopi motion trackers, their 3D avatars can have more realistic movements.

This can reduce the barrier between 2D and 3D VTubers. You can click here to learn more about the new Sony Mocopi.

Aside from Sony, other tech firms are also launching their metaverse innovations.

Recently, Ford's virtual automobiles and NFTs appeared on some leaked trademark applications.

Meta also announced its Horizon Worlds updates, thanks to new partnerships with Zoom and Microsoft.
