Originally Published 2 years ago — by Gizmodo
Sony is bringing its smartphone-based wearable motion-tracking system, Mocopi, to the US next month. The system consists of six motion trackers that attach to straps or clips worn on various body parts. The trackers communicate with a smartphone app over Bluetooth, allowing users to control virtual characters. The positional data can also be shared to a PC over wifi in real-time. Priced at $449, Mocopi offers a more affordable alternative to traditional motion capture systems, although it captures data at a lower frequency of 50Hz.
