Sony Vision-S Interior becomes an Entertainment Space!
In addition, it will be possible to respond to gestures and voice instructions, change the theme of the display, and change detailed functions such as acceleration / deceleration sound settings to your liking. Applying the technology cultivated on smart phones, 5G communication that can be operated remotely, cloud cooperation, updates via the net, etc. are also possible. We are developing the car so that it can become an entertainment space while on the move, such as enjoying 360-degree stereophonic sound in the car and playing games by connecting to the PlayStation at home remotely.
