Immersive engineering
Siemens cooperates with Sony
Together with Sony, Siemens presented a solution at the CES that redefines the workflow of engineers and designers.
To this end, Siemens and Sony are combining innovations in the field of immersive engineering software in the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform with mixed reality hardware from Sony. The XR head-mounted display features 4K OLED microdisplays and controllers for interacting with 3D objects. The solution enables design concepts to be created and explored in a borderless, immersive workspace. According to Siemens, the development will drive content creation for the industrial metaverse. Siemens' 'NX Immersive Designer', an integrated solution that combines Siemens' NX software with Sony's technology, is expected to be available later in 2024.
As an example, Red Bull Racing showed in Las Vegas how the solution can connect the real world with the virtual world and make the industrial metaverse a reality. Watch the video here.
"At Sony, we are passionate about empowering creators with cutting-edge technologies. In the area of spatial content creation, we have enabled innovative ways of working through the use of our proprietary motion and display technologies," said Yoshinori Matsumoto, Executive Deputy President in charge of Technology and Incubation at Sony Corporation. "By combining our technologies with Siemens' engineering expertise, we are excited to enable immersive engineering that redefines the daily workflow of designers and engineers. The high-quality, realistic rendering and intuitive interaction will provide designers with tools to pursue an immersive creative process that will drive further innovation in the industrial metaverse."
