Siemens and Sony Corporation have announced a groundbreaking collaboration to introduce the Sony XR head-mounted display (HMD) , designed specifically for CAD engineering. This innovative HMD is part of the NX Immersive Designer experience, which aims to provide an immersive and interactive way to work with 3D models.
The Sony XR HMD features 4K resolution per eye, superior graphics, and integrated X2 RGB cameras for augmented reality (AR) interactions. This allows engineers to interact seamlessly between the real and virtual worlds, enhancing collaboration and speeding up the design process.
One of the key benefits of this technology is the potential to improve operational efficiency by up to 30% through stereoscopic modeling. The HMD is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, with optimal front and back weight balancing and forehead cushioning. It also includes intuitive hand controls for precise interaction with 3D models.
According to Yoshinori Matsumoto, Executive Deputy President, Technology and Incubation, Sony Corporation
The high-quality, realistic rendering and intuitive interaction will give creators tools to pursue a more immersive creative processes that fuels further innovation in the industrial metaverse.
Next Generation Innovation Applicable in Many Industries.
The Sony XR head-mounted display (HMD) has a variety of use cases across different industries. The HMD is designed for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) engineering, allowing engineers to interact with 3D models in an immersive environment making it the ideal enhancement for CAD engineering. The HMD supports 3D content creation, including video games, movies, and virtual reality experiences. Its high-resolution displays and intuitive controllers make it ideal for creating detailed and realistic 3D content. he HMD can be used for medical training and simulations, providing medical students and professionals with a realistic environment to practice procedures and surgeries.
The collaboration between Sony and Siemens is set to revolutionize product design by enabling engineers to interact with digital twins in real-time. This integration with Siemens’ Xcelerator open digital business platform ensures a seamless workflow and enhanced productivity.
The Sony XR HMD is expected to be available later this year, and it will be exclusively paired with Siemens’ NX software to deliver immersive design and collaborative product engineering capabilities.
