For the past few months, Sony has been pushing a new 3D technology. The technology utilizes 120hz displays and splits the image into 60hz for each eye. However, the technology requires the use of special glasses, which is a hindrance for many consumers. Thankfully, it seems that Sony has another great 3D technology up its sleeve as well.

Sony has a new holographic display in development that is able to render a 24-bit, 96 by 128-pixel image. Without the use of special glasses, the display shows an image that can be viewed from all angles. Apparently, Sony is going to be showing off this impressive piece of technology this Thursday at Tokyo’s Digital Contents Expo. Here’s to hoping that this technology will evolve into something that can benefit gaming.
