📋 Tender Overview
Sony Electronics Inc. announced the debut of the Spatial Reality Display SR Display a groundbreaking new product made with Sonys award-winning Eye-Sensing Light Field Display ELFD technology. The display initially shared with attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show in January of this year does not require virtual reality glasses or a headset1. The SR Display enables creators across a variety of industries from automotive and industrial design to Computer Graphics CG and Visual Effects VFX designers and creators in film to bring ideas to life in stunning 3D displays.Were excited to bring the worlds best technology to bear moving the design and creation industry forward particularly as the shift to digital has become so pronounced stated Mike Fasulo president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics North America. This technology drives new versatility allowing us to advance an entirely new medium and experience for designers and creators everywhere.Extraordinary 3D Image QualityUsing spatial reality to combine the virtual and physical world the Spatial Reality Display creates an incredible 3D optical experience that is viewable to the naked eye.3 This is made possible by several technologiesHigh-speed Vision Sensor - The SR Display is based an innovative high-speed vision sensor which follows exact eye position in space on vertical horizontal and depth axes simultaneously. The display monitors eye movement down to the millisecond while rendering the image instantaneously based on the location and position of the viewers eyes. This allows creators to interact with their designs in a highly-realistic virtual 3D environment from any angle without glasses.3 Real-time Rendering Algorithm - Additionally the SR Display leverages an original processing algorithm to display content in real-time. This allows the stereoscopic image to appear as smooth as real life even if the viewer moves around.Micro Optical Lens - The micro optical lens is positioned precisely over the stunning 15.6 inches diag. LCD display1. This lens divides the image into the left and right eyes allowing for stereoscopic viewing with just the naked eye.Workflow Integration with Sonys Software Development KitSonys dedicated SDK makes it easy for designers to create content for the SR Display.4 The SDK is compatible with industry-standard tools Unity and Unreal Engine so creators can work within an already-familiar production environment and can be used to develop interactive applications in gaming VR construction and automotive design.

Were excited to continue blazing trails and collaborating with Sony to find practical use cases for this innovative product at Volkswagen.To highlight the capabilities of this cutting-edge technology Sony Electronics collaborated with Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Pictures subsidiary Ghost Corps on the upcoming Ghostbusters film Ghostbusters Afterlife scheduled for release in 2021. The collaboration focused on using the SR Display to bring both familiar and new film characters to life through the groundbreaking visual medium.We have been working with the Sony team to bring Ghostbusters characters and assets to life using Sonys Spatial Reality Display noted Eric Reich brand and franchise executive at Ghost Corps. Moving forward we could see potential benefits from pre-visualization to 3D modeling. The display offers a new approach to visualizing concepts and characters making understanding the finished product that much easier.
