At CES, Sony announced expansions to its motion capture system, mocopi (www.slashcam.de/news/single/Sony-Mocopi--Guenstiges-Motioncapturing-via-Smartph-17609.html), bundled under the new name XYN. XYN is an integrated software and hardware solution for creating spatial content. It leverages Sony's imaging, sensing, and display technologies to accurately capture real-world objects, human movement, and backgrounds, reproducing them in virtual environments for 3D computer graphics (CG) productions.

The new application, XYN Motion Studio, in professional mode, will increase precision by utilizing 12 mocopi sensors instead of the previous 6 (via special receivers). It will also offer new features such as motion data editing. XYN Motion Studio runs on Windows PCs and will be available from the end of March 2025.
XYN also includes a spatial capture solution that converts images of real-world objects and spaces captured with a mirrorless camera into photorealistic 3D CG assets using proprietary algorithms. Furthermore, a prototype mobile app is currently under development that visualizes the mirrorless camera's shooting conditions in real-time. This aims to simplify 3D CG production workflows for films, games, virtual production projects, and the metaverse regarding props, objects, spatial backgrounds, etc.
As a third component, the "XYN Headset" is added for creating immersive spatial content. It features 4K OLED microdisplays and a video pass-through function and is optimized for intuitive, creative work, according to Sony. The system will support various 3D production software not only in industrial design but also in entertainment, including software for pre-visualization and 3D character modeling. A proof-of-concept experiment with the prototype is currently being conducted with Sony Pictures Animation.
