Sony brings its Mocopi motion tracking system to the US, revolutionizing mobile motion capture.

Sony is bringing its Mocopi motion capture system, which allows users to control virtual avatars, to the US after its successful debut in Japan. The wireless, phone-based system consists of six tracking sensors that strap to the user's head, hip, wrists, and ankles, providing full-body tracking for up to 10 hours. Priced at $449, Mocopi offers a more affordable option compared to traditional motion capture suits and room sensors. While it lacks facial expression and finger movement tracking, it provides an accessible way for content creators, such as Vtubers, to replicate their movements in real time across streams and virtual reality platforms.

The CR Cup managed to reach around 313,000 total viewers on Twitch, and that's not counting the tens of thousands more that were also present on YouTube. This event shows a potential level of general reach that the genre hasn't seen since probably Street Fighter 2.
