I review Sony’s Mocopi standalone body tracking system updated with optional focus areas for greater accuracy. Sony’s Mocopi makes it possible to animate a VRChat avatar to match my body movements. The result is similar to strapping HTC’s new Ultimate trackers or Tundra trackers on your legs and torso, but HTC’s new trackers only work with HTC headsets like the Vive XR Elite, and Tundra requires base stations. As a standalone solution, Mocopi works well with the Meta Quest 3 , Quest 2 , and Quest Pro when using the native VRChat app to hang out with friends and meet new people in virtual worlds. Instead of simulated motion, your avatar comes to life with movements more like your own. If VRChat was available on PSVR 2 headset, Sony might add support for Mocopi trackers. At the moment, that’s not an option. Sony Mocopi review in a nutshell The installation process...

However, the VR industry has undergone significant transformations during this time, compelling the developers to reconsider their approach. Low-Fi is the spiritual successor to the early VR game Technolust, which was released in 2016 for the PC VR headset Oculus Rift . After an update that added new content and support for the Oculus Touch controllers, solo developer Blair Renaud turned his attention to creating a major new VR game, later announced as Low-Fi. In September 2019, Renaud initiated a prosperous Kickstarter campaign and obtained around $80,000. During that period, I had the opportunity to try out an early version and was amazed by the immersive and intricately designed environments, which transported me into a world reminiscent of Blade Runner.
