A product has been developed that can read people's movements with small sensors attached to their arms and legs and reproduce them as the movements of their online avatars.
This product was developed by Sony, and uses six small sensors with a diameter of more than 3 centimeters attached to the head, arms, legs, etc.
When you take a step or raise your arm, your online avatar accurately reproduces that movement, making it the same as the person wearing the sensor.
It is said that it can be used in various situations such as moving avatars in the virtual space on the Internet, Metaverse, and distributing videos in the form of avatars.
Regarding the Metaverse, the former Facebook's "Meta" is developing goggles that allow users to experience virtual spaces, and in Japan, NTT Docomo has decided to invest a total of 60 billion yen in the Metaverse business. Competition for development is fierce.
Takeshi Aimi, head of Sony's motion business promotion department, said, "I want to make the world of the Metaverse not just a world for a few people, but a world where anyone can participate, just like taking pictures and videos." I'm here.
