Sony India Revamps 3D Spatial Reality Display for Glasses-Free Experience
Sony India has unveiled plans to enhance its ELF-SR2 Spatial Reality Display platform with the introduction of a new plugin, software development kit (SDK), and application. This platform offers an immersive experience of highly realistic, three-dimensional content without the need for specialized glasses or VR headsets catering to diverse industries. The latest iteration of the Spatial Reality Display Plugin, currently available for preview, is crafted to enhance compatibility with digital content creation (DCC) tools. This advancement aims to facilitate the showcasing of 3D data on spatially immersive displays, enabling stereoscopic display of such data for enhanced visualization.
Facilitating a more precise evaluation of intricate curves and complex structures alongside the seamless creation of smooth and natural animations, the new plugin update addresses challenges often encountered on traditional 2D monitors. Specifically tailored for Autodesk Maya, a renowned 3D animation and visual effects software, this updated version of the plugin offers enhanced precision in 3D animation production. Leveraging the diverse features of Autodesk Maya, users can now benefit from heightened accuracy and efficiency in their creative endeavors.
Introducing real-time design review capabilities, users can now witness direct renderings of their design screens on the Spatial Reality Display instantly. This feature enables swift and efficient design evaluations in 3D, facilitating quick progress checks and elevating the overall production quality. With this advancement, teams can streamline their review processes and make timely adjustments, ultimately enhancing productivity and creativity in design workflows.
Experience enhanced control methods with intuitive manipulation of displayed models' position and orientation, now accessible through a range of devices including keyboards, gamepads, PlayStation DualShock 4, DualSense, and more. This advancement simplifies model verification, offering users greater flexibility and ease in managing their designs. With improved control options, users can navigate their models effortlessly, contributing to a smoother and more efficient workflow.
The latest plugin update introduces a significant enhancement to the 3D drawing process on the Spatial Reality Display platform, now allowing for direct rendering of Maya scenes. Overcoming previous limitations in reflecting Maya's intricate object data, this advancement ensures precise visualization of complex curves and 3D structures. Users can now confirm the accuracy of their models with confidence, as the updated plugin enables seamless integration between Maya's design screen and the Spatial Reality Display, enhancing the modeling experience.
Apart from Autodesk Maya, the plugin will support other software such as Autodesk 3dsMax, ZBrush and Blender to offer a broader range of apps for 3D content creation. The combination of Sony’s Spatial Reality Display and the enhanced plugins contribute to higher efficiency and quality improvement in 3DCG production. Users can experience a more intuitive and effective creative process and explore new perspectives during 3D content creation.
