Super Hi-Vision System
Super Hi-Vision has extremely high spatial resolution, 33 million pixels per frame, and it can provide viewers with stunning images. Various parameters other than spatial resolution is under investigation now.
The wide visual angle of 100 degrees provides viewers with an immersive feeling. The purpose of Super Hi-Vision to home is to provide a totally new viewing experience to
enjoy wide and extremely high resolution images from any viewing distance.

3D TV based on Spatial Imaging -Integral Method-
7
Business interests in Stereoscopic 3D television system are increasing in various industries worldwide. However, discrepancy between the convergence point and the focal point causes visual fatigue.
Spatial imaging system does not cause visual fatigue nor requires special glasses, because an object is reconstructed as a spatial image (light field).
