Greater Accuracy

Sony’s advanced imaging technology will improve the quality of in-game assets by providing extremely high-resolution real-world images for reference, for 3d asset and scenery textures and for use in photogrammetry.

Motion Capture

Many games require convincing animations of human movement. The fastest way to achieve this is with motion capture. Sony’s video cameras and video-capable mirrorless cameras capture extremely high-quality images and can be remotely controlled and coordinated. They are ideal for capturing human motion for use in computer games.

Capture real-world scenes for R&D

In the early stages of game development, it’s useful to have extremely high-quality images of real-world environments and objects. Sony cameras produce precise and accurate images to inspire game developers and artists.

Focus Groups

For game optimisation, Sony’s high-resolution but discrete smaller cameras are ideal for capturing body language and facial expressions (with permission) during game demonstrations and focus groups.

Photogrammetry Software

The quickest way to turn a real-world object into a 3D digital asset is to photograph it from multiple angles. Sony cameras come in all sizes, with a vast array of precision lenses. They can be packed together in a small volume or further apart for larger objects. Photogrammetry software benefits from the super-high resolution images from Sony’s advanced sensor technology.

Training AI models for AI-assisted development

It’s hard to overstate the role that AI will play in the future of gaming. But AI still needs to learn from somewhere. Sony’s mirrorless cameras and huge range of precision lenses are ideal for capturing super-high-quality images for use in training game-specific AI models.

3D Image Scanning

Experience a faster and more efficient game development process by taking advantage of the highest precision of Sony cameras. Create a digital map in just a few hours, and accurately and precisely reproduce even the smallest details created by artists. Easily acquire colour information about the scanned object, reduce labour costs and increase the artistic value of the game design. Utilise advanced features of your camera through Camera Remote Toolkit and enhance accuracy and quality of your game.

Photogrammetry

Capture real-world lighting and textures to create lifelike game visuals. Reconstruct the photographs into a 3D model, whether it is a game character or interactive object. Access photogrammetry software through Camera Remote Toolkit and fine-tune your camera’s settings and standards to improve accuracy of your 3D models.

Commercial Drones

Attach your Sony camera to a drone to capture high-quality aerial footage and images of real-world locations from unique angles, ready to be digitalised for your game. Document movements from above for realistic animations and provide a new level of realism and detail.

Data Protection

Safeguard your game development process against fraud and unauthorised editing with Sony’s powerful in-camera forgery-proof photo technology. Activate the signing mode and instantly cryptographically sign any captured images to detect any manipulations or potential forgeries. With standard cryptography and a reliable system process flow, you can eliminate misconduct around digital photo data, providing you with peace of mind that your game development assets are secure.
