Sony Corp. announces development of spatial content creation system

The same week that Apple announced the shipping date of its Apple Vision Pro visual computer, Sony Corp. entered the fray with announcement of 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 see-through function, and a pair of controllers optimized for intuitive interaction with 3D objects and precise pointing.” At launch, Sony is exclusively partnering 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 business platform.

The system will be available later in 2024. Sony and its partners will announce further details including specs, launch date and regions, pricing, sales channels, and software compatibility.
