Week of September 24, 2026 · 25 filings covered · refreshes every week

Sony's 25 newest filings sort into three clusters:

Sensing and display. Several filings refine how devices see and show the world, including AR glasses that make blocking objects transparent, a display that projects images directly onto the eye, and a fix for blurry edges between AR lens gratings.
Cameras, color, and imaging. Image quality filings cover a dual-camera system that measures how light filters through surfaces, a system that guides photographers away from glare, and tools that make color sensors agree with each other.
Gaming and robotics. Sony filed on physical feedback and spatial awareness, including a reaction button and haptic jolt system for controllers, a wearable tracker that tells a controller where you are, and a visual map that shows a robot every angle it can photograph from.

Does a Sony patent mean the feature will launch?

No. A published application is not a product announcement. Companies file to protect options, and most patented ideas never ship in the form described. What filings do show is where Sony is spending research effort right now.
