Is this similar to sony spatial 3d display ?

My company bought one of those Sony Spatial Reality Displays a couple of weeks ago and I have to say it is truly impressive, the 3D effect is really convincing. I just tried this demo and it is cool, but nowhere as good.

We will have to check this out - could you share what the main differences are / in what ways Sony Spatial Reality Displays are better?

BTW, the OG demo from Johnny Lee is from 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

Thanks for posting, I was sure I recalled something like this form a long time ago. I also build my self a FreeTrack headset ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeTrack ) around this same time to play the Arma / Operating Flashpoint games using IR LED's attached to a hat that my webcam would track.

You're probably recalling OG Johnny Lee video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

That's cool, what were the benefits/drawbacks of that compared to other VR headsets would you say?

Honestly I have no idea what the problem seems to be - we're not collecting any cookies. Also, there's no video, so I'm not sure what you are referring to...

Would you be able to clarify?

The Sony display uses a parallax barrier with eye tracking, like a Nintendo 3DS on steroids. It projects a different image for each eye, there is no way you can replicate the effect with a standard display unless you use shutter glasses.

There is a taiwanese company that has developed a sandwiched lenticular screen protector for phones that should fix this. Looks amazing in my opinion. You should try it out with your project.

Do you have a link to that, sounds cool?

this is the one i saw.
