- Siemens and Sony combine NX software and Sony’s XR HMD for immersive engineering.
- New tools enhance collaboration and real-time design adjustments.
- Immersive Engineering supports both co-located and remote design review sessions.
Siemens and Sony are partnering to bring immersive engineering to the industrial metaverse by integrating Siemens’ NX software with Sony’s cutting-edge XR head-mounted display (HMD).
The XR HMD, featuring 4K OLED Microdisplays and precise rendering technology, is optimized for prolonged use, ensuring comfort and stability.
Transforming Engineering with Siemens and Sony’s Immersive Technologies
The integration of Siemens’ NX software and Sony’s XR HMD brings immersive technology to the industrial sector. This collaboration provides designers with the tools needed for realistic 3D rendering and interaction, making the engineering process more efficient and intuitive. The XR HMD’s 4K resolution, coupled with Sony’s proprietary rendering, creates an environment where design changes can be visualized in real-time.
In addition to product design, these technologies also improve collaboration among global teams. With the NX Immersive Collaborator, users can participate in virtual design reviews from any location. Whether local or remote, participants can seamlessly interact with models in a mixed-reality setting, enhancing decision-making and streamlining design validation before production.
Siemens’ Immersive Engineering solutions go beyond simple design tools. NX Immersive Designer, specifically designed to work with Sony’s HMD, allows for direct interaction with 3D models and even integrates precise geometric manipulation. By removing the need for additional software, it provides an effortless and fluid user experience for engineers and designers, making the process faster and more flexible.
This collaboration exemplifies how mixed reality can transform industries. From enabling global collaboration to enhancing prototyping and validation processes, the technology plays a pivotal role in modernizing product engineering. The next-generation tools being launched by Siemens and Sony will redefine how industries approach design, ensuring they remain competitive in an increasingly digital world.
The partnership between Siemens and Sony marks a significant step forward in industrial engineering. By combining their respective technologies, they offer groundbreaking tools that facilitate more efficient design, collaboration, and prototyping, setting the stage for a new era in immersive engineering.
“We embarked on this collaborative project with Sony to deliver the power of the industrial metaverse to our community of designers, engineers and manufacturers.” – Bob Haubrock, Siemens Digital Industries Software.
