The latest device from the SONY Group is a set of wearable motion trackers meant to transport people into the metaverse via their phones.

Sony’s Metaverse gamble with the MoCap tech

The new Mocopi system is made up of six pucks that are worn around the user’s wrists, ankles, head, and hips and are used to animate avatars inside various metaverse apps on Sony Android phones or Apple iPhones. The Mocopi kit, which costs 49,500 yen ($491) will be available in Japan in January, expanding the company’s forays into virtual and augmented reality.
