Enabling AIGC Big Model Sony Officially Releases mocopi PC Application and Mobile Data Analyzer

On June 13, 2024, Sony officially released several updates to its portable motion capture product mocopi to improve the creator's PC based workflow, and will continue to expand more functions on the PC side to help create 3D content.

This update includes the release of mocopi's Windows version PC application [1] (hereinafter referred to as mocopiPC application), bringing the powerful functions of mocopi's mobile application to the desktop environment, the release of DataAnalyzer application to provide the AIGC big model with the raw data generated by human wearing sensors, and the addition of professional animation Software Maya's mocopi plug-in.

MocopiPC application release

Sony officially released the mocopiPC application, which enables motion capture on the PC side to support professional 3DCG production such as film, animation production live or live broadcast using 3D virtual images.

Common motion capture requires multiple settings video camera And wearing full body tights or multiple tags, while mocopi only uses six small and lightweight sensors and smart phones (with mocopi mobile applications), which can easily achieve motion capture or VR (virtual reality) real-time motion capture data input. Since its release in September 2023, mocopi has not only been used by VUP (virtual UP owner) [2] and social VR users, but also by creators involved in film and animation production. By providing mocopiPC applications, Sony aims to provide more creators with an environment that is easier to use motion data, and focuses on new entertainment co creation.

MocopiPC application extends the functions of smart phone application to the large screen of PC, and can complete a series of tasks such as motion capture, file saving, preview and sending on PC, so there is no need to migrate files from smart phone to PC and use external Live broadcast software You can directly broadcast the mocopiPC application screen. In addition, the calibration of the sensor can also be carried out on a PC, so when used with third-party PC production software, the workflow can be uninterrupted.

The main benefits of mocopiPC applications

1. PC end operation, integration with other PC software becomes simple

The mocopiPC application program uses the large screen of the PC to enable you to directly save, preview, recalibrate, set, adjust, and record mocopi action data from the PC side. Users can send action data to third party applications such as Unity and UE or 3DCG software in mocopiPC applications. For live scenes, the interface of mocopiPC application can be directly loaded without complex external device integration settings, and the entire workflow is simplified.

2. Multiple connection modes, compatible with multiple use environments

Connect mocopilink main body and PC through mocopilink application on smart phone. The connection mode of mocopilink application and mocopiPC application supports wired (USB [3]) and wireless (Wi Fi connection). You can choose the appropriate connection mode according to your production environment needs.

3. Reduce the burden of data processing on the mobile phone

The mocopiPC application generates action data. Compared with the mocopiPC application on smart phones, it reduces the computing burden of smart phones and the performance requirements of mobile phone processors. Therefore, the range of supported smart phone models has expanded [4].

The mocopiPC application is planned to provide a variety of extended functions that can only be realized in the PC environment through updates.

Other software updates

In addition to the mocopiPC application, Sony also launched the following key updates:

1. Improve the accuracy feedback after sensor connection: The enhanced feedback mechanism improves the accuracy of action data and provides more reliable data for creators.

2. Extended sensor function: Users can now reset the posture and position by pressing the button on the wrist sensor, simplifying the calibration process.

3. Enhanced action data playback function: the background can be changed during action data playback, and BVH action data files from other devices can be played, expanding the scope of use.

4. Improve the flexibility of country and region settings: Users can now change the country and region settings after the initial settings, improving the availability.

5. Integration with surface capture software Animaze: in Animaze application, mocopi is supported for full body motion capture.

mocopiData Analyzer

Sony released the mocopiData Analyzer application, which was developed using the MobileSDK [5] to enable developers and partners to visualize the original sensor data, effectively helping creators and developers integrate the original mocopiData into the project.

At the same time, this tool can provide the AIGC large model with the original data generated by human wearing sensors more easily.

Users can also develop more similar application tools through MobileSDK to further expand the possibility of 3D creation.

Maya plug-in (coming soon)

Maya's new plug-in and comprehensive tutorials will also be published on the mocopi developer website, which can help creators take advantage of mocopi's functions in this popular 3D animation software.
