Sony prototype shows 360-degree 3D images
At the upcoming Digital Content Expo in Japan scheduled for October 22-25, Sony will demonstrate a prototype 3D display that will project images viewable from all around the device without requiring that viewers wear 3D glasses. The 360-degree display uses an LED light source to emit the images, which have a 96x128 pixel resolution and can show in a full 24-bit color range.
Sony could integrate the technology into outdoor signs and ads, but also sees in-home uses such as for a photo frame or home theater, TV and telephone displays. There is no indication of when the technology would be commercialized, or the costs associated with it. [via Impress]
