Plano-Based Siemens Industry Software Partners with Sony on New Spatial Content Creation System
Summary
Amatatsu recounted how his team relies on the NX software to help develop an “immersive spatial content creation system” featuring “an XR head-mounted display with high-quality 4K OLED Microdisplays and controllers for intuitive interaction with 3D objects.” “Sony succeeded in implementing NX in the fastest schedule in the world and we were able to improve our design process productivity by 25%,” Amatatsu said. “Although significant advancements have been made with NX, I wanted to achieve further evolution with a product that brings innovations allowing direct editing in an immersive environment. I believed that could be realized with Siemens and as a result, the XR head-mounted display was developed that could bring innovative products to market more rapidly.” The spatial content creation system will enable “real-time, high-definition, and realistic rendering of textures of 3D objects and facial expressions of human characters” for content like movies, video games, and industrial design, Sony said in January. The solution allows creators “to craft in virtual space with controllers and keyboards, all while wearing the head-mounted display,” Sony added. “Our head-mounted display and dedicated controllers lets you create more intuitively in a fully immersive environment, allowing you to move freely between the virtual and real worlds—collaborating and creating with colleagues around the world in real time—and it will enable more innovation.” ‘The tight integration of the hardware and software gives designers and engineers all new, incredibly natural ways to interact with the Digital Twin,” Kondo added.
