Sony’s XYN is a tool — and XR headset — for making the metaverse

Sony announced the launch of XYN (/zin/), an integrated software and hardware solution designed to support the creation of spatial content.

As the fusion of real and virtual worlds accelerates and the demand for 3D CG production in film, animation, games, and industrial design continues to grow, XYN will support intuitive and efficient spatial content creation for a diverse range of creators. The mobile motion capture system “mocopi” has been utilized by VTubers and Virtual Reality (VR) social platform users as well as creators in game, film, and animation production. It will support various 3D production software, including pre-visualization and 3D character modeling, not only in the field of industrial design but also in entertainment, and a proof-of-concept experiment using the prototype is underway with Sony Pictures Animation.
