If Sony can work out a way to bring that down to a reasonable price and make it also work with some sort of PS5 equivalent of Ring Fit Adventure they could absolutely coin it in.
The accessibility to tech like this is insane. Devices like these make me excited for the possibilities in creator content and usage in the future.
Me too. I so want to get into indie game development (not necessarily commercial, but I want to hone my skills) so much, and that would be an investment I'd be willing to make, if I could animate my characters using this.
As someone who doesn't know much about this field, I'd be curious to see how the accuracy and ease-of-use compares to something like the Kinect. Did a quick Google and it seems the Kinect v2 on its own isn't terribly accurate, but could be combined with markers to be more so (at which point, I guess the Mocopi is less expensive and easier to use?): https://www.researchgate.net/public...-based_motion_tracking_using_Microsoft_Kinect
I think competent performance capture for a reasonable price is going to be such a boon for indie devs. It's hard to overstate the value of injecting that human element into your animations. It makes me lean forward and pay more attention when I feel like I'm not just watching a bunch of pre-baked emojis firing off in sequence.
Wow, this is quite impressive! I feel like this is definitely gonna invite a lot of new vtubers as well as help indie developers!
If this works out as intended, this could be the start of a lot of great things for smaller companies and vtubers getting animations done a lot more cheaply and easily. Obviously it'll go through iterations and improve over time, but even just this is promising!
exports as BVH data so could indeed use it for cheap game mocap, won't be as good as using a capture studio obviously - you don't have the same amount of sensors, facial capture etc - but still pretty cool
Well Sony has a bunch of investments in Vtubers in Japan with their own group through Sony Music and investments in big companies like Anycolor. The Crunchyroll Vtuber lady too.
Its around 5-10k and an absolute pain to set up in house. This makes basic mocap much more accessible but I would wait for user impressions first since its hard to tell what the latency and accuracy are really like.
combine with a quest pro if you can get the facial data off, or could you do something with an iphone and depth camera strapped to your head?
I found this tweet chain pretty interesing regarding VR Chat integration.
