At Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), the company behind the PlayStation brand, we are continually exploring new ways to push the boundaries of visual computing and deliver richer, more immersive gameplay experiences. Today, we are pleased to announce that SIE has entered into an agreement to acquire Cinemersive Labs, a UK-based machine learning and computer vision company.

Founded in 2022, Cinemersive Labs brings together a specialized team with deep expertise in computer vision and machine learning.

Following the acquisition, the Cinemersive Labs team will join SIE's Visual Computing Group (VCG) and contribute to our broader efforts in advancing state of the art visual computing within games. This includes applying machine learning to enhance gameplay visuals, improve rendering techniques, and unlock new levels of visual fidelity for players.

We look forward to welcoming the Cinemersive Labs team to SIE and continuing to make PlayStation the best place to play.

Eh...seems ok I guess. Not sure about the focus on machine learning though, they gonna to use to what to enhance more LoU and Horizon games?
Also don't get too cosy because they might close them later.
 
Cool, this should help improve whatever upscaling tech they use on Ps6.
At least it's not another dev studio they'll close down after having released zero games.
 
Awesome news for Graphics whores. These guys teaming up with VGC will be produce the goods.

Sony got lapped this gen graphically, after being the best in the world last gen.

Next gen is gonna be awesome.

Not sure about the future?

It sounds like about the PS6 and beyond.

This thread is interesting, because you can see who at least tries to read the article who parrots about 'another game studio to be closed'.

That being said, Im not surprised this is ammunition (for the lack of a better word) to PSSR 4 (or even 3, why not)

So, embracing some form of better upscaling by AI machine learning to enhance visuals... dlss5 style?

Very curious about the future PSS3 with this AI tools improving

All will follow suit, DLSS5's technology was just a preview of what's coming. The writing has been on wall since 2024 with companies like Higgsfield etc. that have the ability to generate complete photorealism from prompts. Atleast the apex of graphics will finally be reached in the next generation.
