Siemens and Sony Corporation are partnering to introduce a new solution that combines the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software with Sony's new XR head-mounted display (HMD), SRH-S1 - designed using Siemens' NX software, a core solution used across Sony to design its industry leading products. On stage at Realize LIVE in Las Vegas, Seiya Amatatsu, Head of Sony's XR Technology Development Division, detailed how his team relies on Siemens' NX? software from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to help develop a new HMD.

The SRH-S1 includes an XR head-mounted display with high-quality 4K OLED Microdisplays and controllers for intuitive interaction with 3D objects. Sony has been using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio as its primary product engineering software since 2015, at an accelerated pace. Sony's XR head-mounted display is a fundamental part of the forthcoming NX Immersive Designer, an integrated solution that combines Siemens' industry leading product engineering software, NX, exclusively with Sony's breakthrough XR technology to deliver immersive design and collaborative product engineering capabilities.
