Sony並非為了擴張其遊戲工作室，而是將該團隊併入其視覺運算部門（Visual Computing Group），以增強在人工智慧領域的研發實力。

Cinemersive Labs成立於2022年，憑藉著能將2D照片與影片轉化為沉浸式3D場景的技術而聞名。

Sony計畫利用這些專業知識來提升即時圖形運算，並優化其PlayStation光譜超解析度（PSSR）技術。
This move highlights a growing trend in the gaming industry: moving beyond raw hardware power by utilizing AI to improve visual fidelity.
此舉凸顯了遊戲產業的一種成長趨勢：不僅追求原始硬體效能，更利用人工智慧來提升視覺保真度。
This acquisition, similar to the 2024 purchase of iSIZE, underscores Sony's long-term commitment to innovation in virtual environments and visual immersion for PlayStation users.
此次收購與2024年收購iSIZE的情況類似，強調了Sony對虛擬環境創新以及為PlayStation用戶提供視覺沉浸體驗的長期承諾。
