Will people ever be able to share their physical location in 3D to others in real-time? This is something Sony is challenging as it focused on the future of live virtual reality in its CES 2023 exhibit.

Sony is testing the possibility of sharing of both time and space to provide everyone with virtual world experiences that allow each other to connect to the physical world in exciting ways — especially in live sporting events.

In fact, they are already conducting a proof of concept (PoC) to see whether fans of football, for instance, may be able to virtually watch matches as if they are inside an actual stadium through metaverse content reproduced in virtual space.

Portable Volumetric Capture

Related to the live-sharing was a prototype showcased at CES 2023. This prototype can capture and distribute animated 3D reconstructions of people, objects, and spaces with low latency.

There will be only seven sensors required for the system, making it ideal for live 3D video distribution. Sony sees various applications for this innovation, like live sports and concerts, and TV news broadcasts.

Spatial Reality Display

It does not stop at 3D live video sharing for Sony. The company also unveiled a 27-inch prototype of a Spatial Reality (SR) Display. It reproduces the real world with 3D spatial images.

With a larger screen, life-sized objects are replicated more realistically. As a glimpse, Sony shows 3D computer graphics content in its booth.

This ambition will be also aided by the existing Hawk-Eye technology which records live sports data and virtual characters for reproduction on the SR Display.
