By Sony Electronics is stepping up its game in immersive 3D experiences by integrating the NVIDIA Omniverse development platform into its Spatial Reality Displays.
A Leap Forward in Immersive Technology
Sony’s move brings the NVIDIA Omniverse to the ELF-SR2 (27-inch) and ELF-SR1 (15.6-inch) Spatial Reality Displays. This integration means users can enjoy real-time 3D design and simulation without needing VR headsets or special glasses. From gaming and entertainment to architecture and automotive design, the possibilities just got a whole lot bigger.
Toshi Suzuki, deputy head of the incubation center at Sony Corporation, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. “With Sony’s Spatial Reality Display and NVIDIA Omniverse, we’re empowering creators to push the boundaries of what’s possible in 3D design and visualization,” he said. “This is next-level immersion.”
Real-Time Rendering Without Extra Hardware
NVIDIA Omniverse is a suite of APIs, SDKs, and services that allow developers to integrate Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) and NVIDIA RTX rendering technologies into existing software tools. By connecting OpenUSD-based applications developed on NVIDIA Omniverse with Sony’s Spatial Reality Display, creators can view and manipulate their 3D assets instantly.

- Holographic-like experiences
- No need for additional hardware
Greg Jones, director of extended reality business development at NVIDIA, highlighted the efficiency this brings. “Sony’s connection to OpenUSD and Omniverse into its ELF-SR displays ensures assets can be rendered in real time, enhancing experiences and accelerating workflows across industries,” he noted.
Impact Across Industries
This collaboration isn’t just tech for tech’s sake; it’s set to make waves across multiple sectors. Architects can now walk clients through virtual models of buildings in real time. Game designers can create more immersive worlds without the clunky headsets. Automotive designers can tweak vehicle models on the fly.
Imagine being able to explore all aspects of a design from every angle, effortlessly. That’s the kind of freedom this integration offers.
