Under the slogan ‘technology that inspires emotion’, Sony has presented the technology for a screen mounted on a virtual reality helmet that projects a three-dimensional space, as announced by the Japanese company in a statement.

The OLED microscreens of this device allow to obtain a resolution of 4K in each eye, and combined in both eyes of 8K. This high image quality is achieved through multiple pixels and miniaturization using fine processing and advanced packaging technology.

Sony has also explained that processing time is reduced by reducing the amount of latency throughout the system thanks to the integration of data from multiple sensors. The user can experience high definition images in real time according to the movement of their head.

The company expects its technology to be used for industrial applications and, because of its functions, also in the field of entertainment.

Among the novelties presented by Sony, the Japanese company has also announced a system that allows 3D images to be displayed on glass LED screens during film shootings, as well as the SkeleTRACK video-based motion capture technology, which uses dedicated cameras and se orients football, with pinpoint precision.

Other innovations announced include a super-resolution technology for ray tracing oriented to content such as 3D or with a high amount of data, and in which the company’s cinema unit is working.

The last three innovations include a stacked SPAD depth sensor for automotive LiDAR, which enables high-precision detection of light particles; a mechanism for robots to manipulate objects with sensitivity comparable to human; and the MIMAMORI platform, capable of detecting climatic problems and environmental disasters before they occur by analyzing different indicators.
