Sony is one of the few companies that could make something like XYN (/zin/), an integrated software and hardware solution designed to support the creation of spatial content, as well as Mocopi, a platform whose name is short for a mobile motion capture system.

XYN can accurately capture the real world and combine the content with a wide range of third-party tools to enable flexible creation in real time. At the recent Game Developers Conference, Sony announced the XYN platform was available for preorder, and now it’s shipping.
