A New Standard in Full-Body Motion Capture for Professionals

SAN DIEGO , March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics Inc. today announced that the highly anticipated mocopi Pro Kit is now available for order, delivering an advanced full-body motion capture solution for professionals in animation, gaming, virtual reality (VR), and live-streaming. Shipping begins April 3, and alongside its launch, Sony will release XYN Motion Studio—the powerful new motion capture and editing software—on the Microsoft Store on March 25, enabling current owners of mocopi to use this new software prior to the mocopi Pro ship date¹.

Next-Generation Motion Capture Precision
The mocopi Pro Kit builds on Sony's innovative motion capture technology, introducing a 12-sensor setup for greater precision and fluidity. Designed to meet the needs of game developers, content creators, and extended reality (XR) professionals, this new system offers direct PC integration through the Sensor data receiver for mocopi (PC dongle), enabling real-time tracking and an optimized production workflow.²

Paired with XYN Motion Studio, the mocopi Pro Kit streamlines both real-time and offline motion capture, making it easier than ever to capture, refine, and export professional-quality motion data. The mocopi Pro Kit is set to revolutionize the way creators and game developers approach animation. This innovative tool offers unprecedented capabilities, enabling users to bring their creative visions to life with greater ease and precision than ever before. Whether you're working on a complex game or an intricate animation project, the mocopi Pro Kit provides the advanced features and flexibility needed to push the boundaries of what's possible in digital animation.

Industry Adoption, A Developer's Perspective:
"Using the mocopi Pro will accelerate our content pipeline, enabling us to create and deliver more original animations to support the ongoing development of Cosmorons," says James Garcia, Studio Art Director, Blind Squirrel Games.
"This product is such a fantastic development tool. I have basically zero experience with animation in my background, so to be able to use these to make completely viable animation sequences and montages is amazing," says Robert Beyer, Founder of Leap of Faith, Lead Engineer of Haven [indie title launching this year].

Key Features:

• Professional Mode (12 sensors) – Tracks body movement with enhanced accuracy and realism.
• Direct PC Connection – Ensures seamless real-time tracking and integration into professional workflows.²
• Camera Blending – Camera data merging, which enhances positional accuracy and reduces tracking errors.
• Offline Grounding Refinement – Minimizes floating and sliding artifacts for more realistic foot placement.
• Broad Compatibility – Works with industry-standard platforms like Maya, Unity, Motion Builder, Unreal Engine, and VRChat.
