Sony is launching the Xyn (pronounced zin ), an “extended reality” headset for creating 3D objects for films, animation, and games. The device, which Sony first teased at CES last year, will come with 4K OLED displays, video passthrough, and support for third-party design, modeling, and production software.

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

Sony is launching a new "extended reality" headset called Xyn. Introduced at CES last year and debuted today, January 7, Xyn - pronounced "zin" - has been developed for "creating 3D objects for films, animation, and games" and features 4K OLED displays, video passthrough, and "support for third-party design, modelling, and production software."

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,

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