Sony unveils £300 smartphone metaverse gadget that can map your moves onto anime-like characters

1 year 5 months ago

Sony has revealed a set of six motion-tracking gadgets that will allow a user's body to influence an avatar's moves.

Known as Mocopi, this set will enable mobile motion capture, thanks to sensors worn around a user's head, waist, wrists and ankles. When paired with the compatible smartphone app, these trackers can then be used to animate an avatar within said app.

In addition to adding your avatar to real-world locations, users will also be able to combine avatars and background images within the app. Meanwhile, it will also use VRChat as a motion input device. You can see just how Mocopi looks in action via the trailer below.
