Sony Corporation announced the development of an immersive spatial content creation system, which includes an XR head-mounted display equipped with high-quality 4K OLED microdisplays and video transparency function, as well as a pair controllers optimized for intuitive interaction with 3D objects and precise pointing. The system is intended to help creators create sophisticated 3D content. Sony plans to collaborate with developers of various 3D production software, particularly in the entertainment and industrial design fields.

For the launch, Sony is partnering exclusively with Siemens, a leader in industrial technology, to introduce a new solution for immersive design and collaborative product engineering using software from the Siemens Xcelerator open digital enterprise platform. The system will be available sometime in 2024. Sony and its partners will announce further details, including specifications, launch date and regions, pricing, sales channels and software compatibility.

This spatial content creation system, equipped with a head-mounted XR display with Microdis OLED 4K displays and Sony’s proprietary rendering technology, enables realistic, high-definition, real-time rendering of 3D object textures and facial expressions of human characters. In addition to video transparency functionality and spatial recognition with six cameras and sensors in total, the system includes a circular controller that allows users to intuitively manipulate objects in virtual space, as well as a pointing controller that enables precise pointing, allowing creators to create in virtual space with controllers and keyboards, while wearing the head-mounted display. Creators will not only be able to view full-scale 3D models in an extended reality (XR) environment using the high-definition display, but also create and edit 3D models in this environment.

Through integration with third-party 3D creation applications, the device also supports remote and real-time review between different locations, making it an intuitive and immersive tool for the entire creation process of spatial content. Does the device feature the Snapdragon® platform? XR2+ Gen 2, the latest XR processor from Qualcomm Technologies Inc. The processor unleashes the power of 4K OLED microdisplays to deliver stunning image quality, along with user tracking and space for experiences XR transparent, giving creators a high-performance platform for their creative workflow.

Sony has launched technologies that support the workflow and quality of spatial content creation and facilitate the use of 3D computer graphics in various creative fields. The mobile motion capture system “mocopi?”, equipped with small, lightweight sensors and a dedicated smartphone application, tracks the movements of the entire body, thanks to Sony’s proprietary technologies. Spatial reality displays provide highly realistic three-dimensional content without the use of special glasses or virtual reality (VR) headsets, for the spatial content creation and review process.

By introducing this system and collaborating with 3D creation software developers, Sony aims to enable spatial content creators to transcend the boundaries between the physical and virtual realm for more immersive creative experiences.
