Sony is developing a "360 degree stereoscopic video display that doesn't need 3D glasses." In the Ginza Sony Building, the company exhibited a development prototype to the general public.
This cylindrical display enables a stereoscopic image to be seen from any direction through 360 degrees, without wearing 3D glasses. Last year, Sony exhibited a still picture display of this type; this is the first time it has presented a video display.
"The video appears at very small angle intervals, with different pictures for the left and right eyes. The parallax makes the video appear three-dimensional."
"The resolution is 96 by 120 dots. There are 360 viewpoints."
"This time, we've produced CG content. If you generate CG video for 360 viewpoints, you can create this kind of picture."
In other words, this display shows pictures from 360 viewpoints, differing by 1 degree each, simultaneously.
Because several people can view the display at once, it could be used in personal communication tools in the home, such 3D photo frames and videophones, as well as digital signage and events.
