Sony Spatial Reality Display is a new (and very expensive) bet on holographic screens

Sony Spatial Reality Display

The photos don't do it justice, for sure. Nothing can do it when a screen shows more than what the eye can capture in a flat image. It's precisely what holographic displays do, and Sony's Spatial Reality Display is just that .

It is not the first time that a manufacturer has tempted us with this type of technology , but the truth is that despite their theoretical spectacularity, their price makes them not very accessible. The Sony model is a good example of this segment every inch (and every pixel) is priced in gold .


A niche product priced according to that reality

Sony's display harnesses the magic of stereoscopic 3D images to deliver that holographic technology that is hard to imagine and that is basically close to what virtual reality glasses do .



The Spatial Reality Display is an external screen that has a 15.6-inch diagonal and 4K resolution, something that is already striking but is not really that important, because that ability to display content in three dimensions is the true promise of a peripheral specifically geared towards the content creators and designers segment .


In Sony they affirm that their screen also integrates a series of algorithms in real time that act with the information to be displayed in combination with that offered by several cameras to monitor our eyes to present those three-dimensional images. As we move to look at the screen, the object we are looking at rotates before our eyes as if it were a 3D model.

The fundamental problem with this technology is that, as we say, it is not so far removed from virtual reality glasses or even from products like Microsoft's HoloLens , which are already on sale and also pose many possibilities in professional settings.

The Sony screen also has a scary price: $ 5,000 . All you need are your eyes, they say on the official product page , but that is not entirely true: you will also need that money to acquire a proposal that a priori seems to have very difficult to compete with options that seem much more accessible and just as spectacular.
