Apart from making high-end gaming consoles and world-class image sensors, Sony also works hard on display tech for their devices. The Tokyo-based tech giant has been working with 3D visual tech to integrate into its devices. So now, they have developed a unique monitor that lets viewers see holographic models in a 3D space without the use of any bulky AR or VR headsets.
Now, the SR Display, from the front, looks like an ordinary display with a slanting design. However, if you take a look at it from the sides, you will see a prism-like physical design that packs all the advanced tech to create 3D visual experiences for the viewers.
How Does it Work?
Now, the way Sony’s new 3D display works is that it tracks the eye movements, as well as the physical movements, of the viewer in real-time using the high-speed visual sensor. Then it uses the micro-optical lens, which is integrated as a layer on the LCD display, to separate the screen for each of the viewer’s eyes. This creates a stereoscopic image of the content for the viewer to take a look at it in 3D.
Beefy PC for a Beefy Monitor
Now, keep in mind, as the 3D monitor produces two separate 2K images to rival the constant eye movements of the viewers, it requires the accompaniment of a pretty powerful computer system. According to Sony, the minimum requirement for this monitor is an Intel Core i7-9700K running at 3.6 GHz or faster and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super.
Now, as it is a novelty product and is made for the professional sector, the price, as you can imagine, is not in the lower-end. So, if you want to get your hands on this bad boy, you have to shed as much as $5,000 (~Rs 3.7 lakhs). And Sony says that it will start delivering the orders starting next month.
