Sony Spatial Reality Display ELF-SR2

Sony's new advanced display can deliver 3D immersive experience and content without the need for any 3D glasses or virtual reality headgear as such.

It features a 27-inch 4K display and supports 10-bit processing, 100 per cent Adobe RGB colour gamut, and comes with a super-resolution engine that can upscale 2K quality multimedia content to 4K.

"You can enjoy an overhead view of 3D content that interacts with you as you move. High-definition 3D images give the feeling that the objects are right in front of you," says the company.

It boasts Sony’s proprietary high-speed sensor. It can follow every movement of the eyes down to the millisecond, sensing pupil position through space on all three axes: vertical, horizontal, and even depth.

Furthermore, the micro-optical lens is positioned precisely over the LCD display. The lens divides the image between the left and right eyes, giving the user stereoscopic viewing with just the naked eye.

And, with Spatial Reality Display, the device leverages an original algorithm for processing real-time content for each eye without lag. This allows the 3D world to appear as smooth as in real life, even if the user moves around.

The 27-inch smart display ELF-SR2 is best for enterprises working on jewellery, Animation and graphics editing work, vehicle/robot designing, and even find several use-cases in medical science studies too. It costs Rs 7,00,000 in India.
