Sony launched the PS VR2 in late 2022 for gaming, now it has announced a mixed reality headset for work. This was created in collaboration with Siemens and is aimed at “spatial content creators”. This could be used in anything from product design to film production.
The headphones are equipped with two 1.3 OLED microdisplays with 4K resolution and 96% DCI-P3 coverage. They are led by the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 announced last week. The system supports “split rendering,” which divides the computational workload between the head-mounted display and computers to achieve a stable frame rate when rendering large 3D models. Sony promises that the headset will be able to provide “realistic rendering of 3D object textures and human characters’ facial expressions” in real time.
wSpatial tracking is done using six cameras and sensors, which also provide video viewing capabilities, allowing the headset to blend virtual objects into the real world.
The headset comes with two interesting controllers: one looks like a ring and allows manipulation of 3D objects, the other is an accurate pointer that also helps designers create and manipulate virtual objects. The headphones will integrate with Siemens’ NX Immersive Designer software.
Sony designed the headphones for prolonged use by precisely balancing its balance and creating comfortable caresses. The front of the headset can also be flipped up to allow users to focus on the real world without removing the headset.
The new XR headphones from Sony and Siemens will be available later this year. There is no word yet on pricing – those details will be announced later.
