Sony's XYN headset and software application could transform the creative landscape with a focus on spatial capture solutions.

Sony has unveiled its latest innovation, the Xyn (pronounced zin), an "extended reality" headset designed specifically for crafting 3D content. The advanced device is targeted at making the creation process easier in fields like animation,

Sony brought a new XR headset to CES 2025, but it’s not the PSVR 3. Instead, the “XYN Headset” is a concept geared towards spatial content creation, and I had the chance to check it out myself. XYN as a whole is a new division for Sony dedicated to spatial capture and rendering solutions,

Thaisa Yamamura, head of XR Business Development at Sony Electronics in the US, introduced XYN - a new 3D CG production solution for various creators. XYN’s spatial capture employs a mirrorless camera, converting real objects and spaces into high-quality 3D objects. Sony’s algorithm is specifically optimized to improve generation time.

Sony has taken the wraps off a prototype VR headset called the XYN, which will aid in creating content for spatial computing.
