At CES 2024, the world’s leading technology gathering, Siemens announced its partnership with Sony Corporation (Sony) to introduce a new solution that combines the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software with Sony’s new spatial content creation system. This new solution comes with an XR head-mounted display with 4K OLED microdisplays and controllers that allow for easy interaction with 3D objects.
Enabling designers and engineers to create and explore design concepts in an immersive workspace, the new solution aims to kickstart content creation for the industrial metaverse.
The Siemens’ NX Immersive Designer, an integrated solution that combines Siemens’ NX software and Sony technology, is expected to be available later in 2024. This solution brings immersive design and collaborative product engineering capabilities to Siemens’ flagship product engineering solution, providing a borderless and innovative approach to design and engineering.
“At Sony, we are passionate about empowering creators with cutting-edge technologies, and in the field of spatial content creation, we have thrived in innovating the way they work by utilizing our proprietary motion and display technologies,” said Yoshinori Matsumoto, Executive Deputy President and Officer in charge of Technology and Incubation, Sony Corporation.
“By combining our technologies and Siemens’ expertise in engineering, we are excited to enable more immersive engineering that redefines the daily workflow of designers and engineers. The high-quality, realistic rendering and intuitive interaction will give creators tools to pursue more immersive creative processes that fuel further innovation in the industrial metaverse.”
In addition to the partnership with Sony, Siemens also unveiled other collaborations and breakthroughs in AI and immersive engineering to enable the industrial metaverse at CES. They highlighted how these technologies are empowering the world’s innovators to thrive using its open digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator.
Siemens has collaborated with Amazon Web Services to build and scale generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
With the launch of its Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal, Siemens is taking a giant leap forward, delivering a first-of-its-kind platform consolidating all Siemens’ APIs and developer resources. This portal is part of Siemens Xcelerator and is based on the principles of collaboration and openness, providing developers with a unified space to access and explore Siemens and partner APIs.
Moreover, the developer portal has introduced a Chatbot in collaboration with Microsoft, which is an AI-powered tool that enhances the development experience. The Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal is seamlessly integrated with industry-leading API platforms like Postman, which ensures a streamlined and developer-friendly journey from discovery to deployment.
