Sony's 3D Visor to change 3D forever
Tokyo, Japan � August 31, 2011 � Sony Corporation (�Sony�) today announced the launch of Head Mounted Display �Personal 3D Viewer� �HMZ-T1′, a device that offers a spectacular new style for viewing both 2D and 3D content. Simply slip the device onto your head to experience the movie theater-like virtual screen (equivalent to a 750-inch screen) expand before your eyes.
It is equipped with the newly-developed 0.7-inch (diagonal 18.0mm) high definition OLED panel (1280 x 720), which have been realized through Sony�s unique expertise in both OLED display and semiconductor silicon drive technologies. The �HMZ-T1′ achieves HD picture quality that makes full use of the OLED display�s high contrast, color reproducibility, and fast response. In addition, the device adopts the �Dual Panel 3D Method� which consists of separate panels for the left and right eye in order to display independent HD picture quality to each eye, which realize 3D vision.
The viewer can enjoy natural and bright 3D picture quality that is crosstalk-free. Furthermore, we have achieved a wide horizontal viewing angle of 45 degrees by incorporating an optical lens that thoroughly suppresses unwanted elements such as aberration and distortion. Viewers can now enjoy watching video on a movie theater-like big-screen (750-inch virtual screen). Sony has also adopted its original virtual surround signal processing technology. Combined with the high-resolution 3D picture quality, viewers will be able to fully enjoy powerful acoustics equivalent to a maximum of 5.1ch through the left and right headphones alone.
Sony group has offered a wide range of 3D products and 3D content production systems, from industrial 3D filming and editing equipment and movie theater systems through to its �BRAVIA� LCD TVs, home projectors, Blu-ray� Disc devices, Personal Computer VAIO and �PlayStation 3″ while its �Handycam� and �Cyber-shot� cameras even enable people to film 3D video themselves. And now, this new 3D viewing style provided by �HMZ-T1′ will enable users to enjoy the movie theater-like experience whilst relaxing on their living room sofa, thus further expanding Sony�s 3D world.
