The color-coded bands feature motion sensors that are worn on your head, hip, ankles, and wrists. With its motion-tracking technology, users can convert real-time motion input to control avatars in virtual reality. Mocopi users can move around as their avatars in the metaverse and other virtual reality environments.

The Mocopi will be available to pre-order in mid-December, with the bands releasing in late January.
