Launch of XYN™, an integrated hardware and software solution designed to facilitate the creation of spatialized content

Sony Corporation announces the launch of XYN™ (pronounced “zin”), an integrated hardware and software solution designed to facilitate the creation of spatialized content. Drawing on Sony’s proprietary imaging, sensing and display technologies, XYN™ accurately captures backgrounds, real-world objects and people’s movements and then recreates them in virtual environments for the production of 3D computer-generated images (CG for Computer Graphics). By supporting numerous third-party tools, it enables flexible workflows to be built. As the fusion of real and virtual worlds accelerates and the demand for 3D CG production continues to grow in film, animation, games and industrial design, XYN™ supports intuitive and efficient spatialized content creation for a wide range of creators. With XYN™, Sony will work with creators to jointly produce new content for the future.

XYN™ Motion Studio

XYN™ Motion Studio is PC software that supports connection to 12 “mocopi®” sensors and uses Sony’s proprietary algorithms to perform motion interpolation and automatic labeling. It will be available at the end of March 2025. The “mocopi” mobile motion capture system is used by VTubers and social networking users in virtual reality (VR), as well as by creators working on game, film and animation production. The new XYN™ Motion Studio brings enhanced precision thanks to connection to 12 sensors via dedicated receivers (professional mode). The software also brings new functions such as motion data editing, making motion capture more accessible for more diverse creators in a variety of genres, who previously faced high costs and complex equipment.

XYN™ Spatial Capture Solution (prototype)

The XYN™ Spatial Capture Solution will generate excellent-quality photorealistic 3D CG assets based on images captured by hybrid cameras and specialized algorithms. In addition, a prototype of a mobile application that provides real-time insight into hybrid camera shooting conditions is also under development. This will simplify the workflow of 3D CG production for films, games, virtual productions and the metaverse, for objects such as props, elements and spatialized backgrounds.

“XYN™ headset (prototype)

The “XYN™ Headset” is an immersive spatial content creation system, featuring excellent-quality 4K1 OLED microdisplays and a transparent video preview function, optimized for intuitive creative work in spatial content generation. It will support various 3D production software, with 3D character preview and modeling, not only in industrial design but also in entertainment. A proof-of-concept experiment based on this prototype is currently underway with Sony Pictures Animation.
