AR, VR, and Metaverse
Fusing the real and virtual
to unveil emotions never felt before.
STORY
Sony Semiconductor Solutions Group (SSS) will leverage its image sensors, other hardware and application development technologies to further merge the real and virtual in exciting new activities and experiences.
Technical Field
Our imaging and sensing technology
is a point of contact between the real and virtual.
Imaging and sensing technology can convert analog information such as light into digital data to bring virtual experiences such as AR and VR to the world.
Our application development
is bringing the metaverse closer to you.
SSS is also developing applications that make use of image sensors, such as an app for VTubers that recognizes detailed facial expressions and finger motions, and a virtual fitting app that measures the size of your feet to help you select shoes of the perfect size. We will continue to bring innovation to entertainment by developing applications that only high-performance image sensors can realize.
We're extending our technology
beyond the realm of entertainment.
The fusion of real and virtual isn't limited to entertainment. AR technology has a wide range of applications including remote instruction in cargo warehouses, surgical assistance in medical care, and outdoor navigation. VR technology is expected to be used in the metaverse and business applications such as for virtual travel, education and design modeling. We're expanding the use of such technology in industry, medicine and other fields, as well as contributing to the evolution of 3R (Reality, Realtime, Remote) technology.
