Sony has announced the launch of its mobile motion capture system, mocopi (QM-SS1) in Singapore.

With small and lightweight sensors and dedicated apps available for iOS, Android, and Windows, mocopi enables full-body motion tracking using Sony’s proprietary technologies.

Users can track movements indoors or head outdoors and create own 3D motion content wherever they go.

The small and sleek sensors are driven by Sony’s unique, proprietary algorithm. They fit comfortably on various parts of one’s body. And all users need are compatible smartphones and the mocopi app.

The end-to-end process includes creation, motion data-logging, recording, saving, and finally, transferring.

On the app, users can simply pair the sensors with their phone. Then, after putting sensors on parts like their wrists, ankles, hip, and head, users will only have to calibrate them.

With this system, it’s easier than ever for users to produce content they desire.

In addition, there’s also a mocopi PC app to deliver seamless and efficient motion capture experience for 3D content creators.

They can record in FBX format, in addition to BVH format. Motion data can be synchronized with external data like facial capture or video by adding timecode from time code generators and NTP.

Sony mocopi demo, experience

Starting October 31, Sony Stores in Singapore will feature a dedicated mocopi demo unit. Visitors can dive into the future of engaging and dynamic content creation with the in-store demo.

Furthermore, the Sony Store at 313@somerset lets visitors explore the mocopi Experience Zone. This is designed for creators who want to dive deeper into what mocopi can do.

They can get hands-on with the suite of advanced programs, including the PC app and XYN Motion Studio. This will allow participants to witness how the motion capture system integrates into professional workflows.

mocopi will be available in Singapore from November 2025 for SG$ 599.

Samsung has unveiled Galaxy XR. It’s the company’s first product built on the Android XR platform developed with Google and Qualcomm. It marks the start of the Android XR ecosystem. It introduces a new category of AI-native devices designed for immersive discovery, play, and work.

Built for the AI era

Gemini AI powers Galaxy XR and runs at the system level, enabling natural interactions through voice, vision, and gesture. The headset sees what you see, hears what you hear, and responds conversationally. It acts less like a tool and more like a companion. It also offers human-like interactions that make tasks faster and more intuitive.

Designed for long-term comfort

Galaxy XR’s lightweight frame balances comfort and durability. The headset distributes pressure evenly across the head, and Samsung separated the battery pack to make the fit more compact and comfortable. A detachable light shield blocks external light for deeper immersion or removes easily for open-air use.

Powered by Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2

Inside is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, driving advanced sensors, precise motion tracking, and AI processing. The headset features 4K Micro-OLED displays, immersive sound, and clear voice capture through strategically placed microphones. Battery life lasts up to 2.5 hours of continuous playback.

All your favorite Android apps

Built on OpenXR standards, Galaxy XR works with existing Android apps out of the box. Developers using OpenXR, WebXR, or Unity can easily bring their experiences to the platform. Popular apps like Google Maps, YouTube, Circle to Search, and Google Photos are optimized for XR from day one.

• Navigate in 3D: Use Gemini as a personal guide on immersive Google Maps.
• Watch smarter: Ask Gemini for more info about videos on YouTube.
• Search naturally: Draw a circle in the air to search anything in view.
• Relive memories: Auto-spatialize photos and videos in 3D via Google Photos.

Built for discovery, play, and work

Galaxy XR delivers new levels of immersion for entertainment, gaming, and productivity.

• Watch anywhere: Stream shows in a personal 4K theater.
• Play smarter: Get AI coaching and tips mid-game.
• Create in 3D: Edit videos with Adobe Project Pulsar, layering depth and graphics.

Samsung is also expanding Galaxy XR into enterprise training and collaboration, partnering with Samsung Heavy Industries and Qualcomm Spaces to create business-ready XR solutions.

Expanding the ecosystem

Samsung’s XR roadmap extends beyond headsets. The company is developing AI glasses in collaboration with Google, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster, combining technology, comfort, and style under the open Android XR platform.

Price and availability

Galaxy XR is available today in the U.S. for USD 1,799.99 at samsung.com and Samsung Experience Stores, with 24-month financing options available.

Buyers before year-end will receive The Explorer Pack (worth over USD 1,000), which includes 12 months of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, and an XR content pack.

Apple has introduced the upgraded Apple Vision Pro, now powered by the M5 chipand equipped with the Dual Knit Band for improved comfort.

This latest version delivers faster performance, sharper display rendering, longer battery life, and new experiences through visionOS 26, which introduces widgets, updated Personas, and new Apple Intelligence features with expanded language support.

M5 chip brings faster AI and sharper visuals

The M5 chip, built on third-generation 3-nanometer technology, introduces a 10-core CPU and GPU that boost performance across the system. Apps launch faster, web browsing feels more responsive, and visuals appear sharper with 10% more pixels rendered on Vision Pro’s micro-OLED displays.

The new GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading. It brings lifelike lighting and reflections to games like Control. Vision Pro now supports refresh rates up to 120Hz. It reduces motion blur and delivering smoother experiences for Mac Virtual Display users.

The high-performance battery extends use to 2.5 hours of general activity or 3 hours of video playback on a single charge. Meanwhile, the 16-core Neural Engine accelerates AI-powered tasks up to 2x faster than before. Developers can now use Apple’s Foundation Models framework to create smarter on-device AI experiences.

Dual Knit Band offers improved comfort

Apple introduces a redesigned Dual Knit Band, crafted from 3D-knitted fabric for a more cushioned and balanced fit. It uses flexible ribs embedded with tungsten inserts for counterweight and stability, while the dual-function Fit Dial enables fine-tuned adjustments.

The Dual Knit Band is available in three sizes (S, M, L), sold separately, and compatible with previous Vision Pro models. Users can find their best fit through the Apple Store app for iPhone.

visionOS 26 expands spatial experiences

With visionOS 26, Vision Pro adds immersive new ways to work and play. Widgets can now stay anchored in your space, Personas look more natural in FaceTime, and spatial photos use AI to add realistic depth.

Vision Pro also supports 180° and 360° video playback from Canon, Insta360, and GoPro. This lets creators and users relive footage the way it was captured. Later this year, the Vision Pro app for iPad will launch. It will give users another way to browse and manage spatial content.

Expanding apps, games, and immersive content

Vision Pro users can explore over 1 million apps, with 3,000+ made specifically for visionOS. Lifestyle and design apps like HomeByMe, Balenciaga, and Christie’s Select join entertainment titles like Epic Earth and Space Vision.

Apple Immersive continues to push storytelling boundaries with new titles from Audi F1 Project, BBC, HYBE, and Red Bull. There are also 3D movie hits like Jurassic World Rebirth and Wicked on the Apple TV app.

Gaming also levels up with support for PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. It unlocks tactile gameplay with six degrees of freedom and haptic feedback.

Built for creators and professionals

Pro users can use Vision Pro for advanced workflows — from 3D design and photography to film production and live collaboration. The new Logitech Muse stylus offers pixel-level precision in apps like Crayon and Sketch Pro. Enterprises such as CAE, Porsche, and UC San Diego Health are already adopting Vision Pro to power simulation, visualization, and healthcare innovation.

Pricing and availability

The upgraded Apple Vision Pro with M5 chip and Dual Knit Band starts at SGD 4,999, available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options.

Pre-orders in Singapore begin October 17, with availability in Apple Stores starting October 22.
