With its newest offering, Sony, a giant in the field of electronics from Japan, is taking a fresh chance in the Metaverse. The Tokyo-based technological powerhouse has unveiled a new series of wearable motion sensors that work with smartphones to provide access to the Metaverse.

Sony to Launch Mocopi Kit in January 2023

Both iOS and Android mobile devices may use these motion sensors. Mocopi is a puck system that consists of an anklet, wristband, headband, and hip band. Digital character animation is therefore possible using the sensors in Sony's Metaverse programs for Android and iOS. According to the Tokyo-based technological powerhouse announcement, the Mocopi kit will go on sale in January 2023 for a reasonable price of 49,500 yen ($360). If Sony chose this route to penetrate the metaverse business, it would be taking a big risk. Sony wants to use its affordable products to enter the wearables sector and get a presence in the global gaming and peripherals sector.

Expansion of the Gaming Business

Sony intends to make use of the popularity of its PlayStation brand as well as the expertise of its software developers to profit from the rising interest in the Metaverse. The technological powerhouse, with its headquarters in Tokyo, plans to expand its gaming business in a way that goes beyond the typical scope of console games. These affordable PC and mobile gaming accessories will help Sony achieve its objective.
