Sony has launched XYN (pronouced zin) at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. XYN is an integrated software and hardware package designed to support the creation of spatial content.
Using Sony's imaging, sensing, and display technologies, XYN captures real-world objects, human motion, and backgrounds, recreating them in virtual environments for 3D Computer Graphics (CG) production.
By supporting a wide range of third-party tools, it enables flexible workflows. As the fusion of real and virtual worlds accelerates and the demand for 3D CG production in film, animation, and industrial design continues to grow, XYN will support intuitive and efficient spatial content creation for a range of creators.
XYN Motion Studio1 is as the first product to be luanched under the XYN umbrella.
XYN Motion Studio is a PC application which supports connections with 12 'mocopi' sensors and uses Sony’s proprietary algorithms for automatic motion interpolation and auto-tagging functions. The mobile motion capture system 'mocopi' achieves high-precision motion measurement with only six small and lightweight sensors and a smartphone app, with Sony’s algorithms. 'mocopi' has been used by creators in film and animation production. XYN Motion Studio uses the advantages of 'mocopi', such as studio- or suits-free motion capture, while enhancing precision through connections with 12 sensors via dedicated receivers (professional mode).
The application also adds new functions such as editing of motion data, making motion capture more accessible to a wider range of creators in various genres, who have previously faced high costs and equipment hurdles.
