Sony Mocopi is currently the best set of trackers on the market at around this price point, but there isn’t much competition at the moment, and it doesn’t really do what the majority of VR fans will want it to do. A starting price of $449 (from Sony’s online store) is also a lot of money. It’s almost the full price of the upcoming Quest 3, and it’s around the same price as three Vive Trackers (though you will need some towers to make those work).
There is enormous potential here, and we’re confident that Sony’s effort here is the first step towards something brilliant. The trackers do their jobs and do it well, and software improvements or some kind of dongle would definitely take things to the next level. But as things stand, it’s a large amount for something with pretty limited use.
If you’re in need of a cheap motion capture setup for an indie studio, YouTube channel, or something similar, then this is a great buy. Similarly, if you’re really into “VR Chat” but don’t have the space or money for a full Vive setup, then this is probably a good option. Some of the issues we’ve flagged will probably be ironed out soon enough, and you’ll likely be alright with the odd bit of latency if it means you can show off your kung-fu moves to a person pretending to be a 7ft tall carrot whenever you like.
