How it Works
The display should be connected to a gaming computer via HDMI cable and runs Sony's SDKs using a game engine such as Unity and UE4. It will be easy to playback existing VR/AR content and various 3DCG data. These SDKs will run on Windows PC. Therefore users can enjoy the spatial reality experience on various open platforms (image 1).
Usage of the Technology
Sony’s Eye-Sensing Light Field Display technology is ideal for 3DCG content creators in the production field. It enables them to better visualize their content and VR/AR apps during the creation process by displaying a 360-degree rendering. The technology also has beneficial applications in the B2B2C realm for companies that want to show their products at public exhibits, such as trade shows and events.
Sony is committed to providing a remarkable spatial-reality experience to its customers. The Eye-sensing Light Field Display fully utilizes Sony's expertise in picture quality to deliver exceptionally high precision and contrast, creating a reliable and accurate display of creative content.
In particular, Sony's engineers used three of Sony's original unique display technologies: an innovative display, high-speed vision sensor with face recognition, and a real-time rendering algorithm (image 2 below)
By focusing on one single user, Sony’s Light Field Display technology ensures that content is displayed in high-quality 4K resolution.
