Electronics giant Sony has registered patents for split screen 3D televisions that would allow viewers to watch two different types of 3D content simultaneously.
The innovative idea is just the latest of a number of 3D technological developments Sony plans to introduce. A spokesperson for the firm said that the technology will mean more than one viewer can watch a 3D television screen and see completely different pictures.
“An image from a first video signal corresponding to a left perspective of a scene and an image from a second video signal corresponding to a right perspective of the scene are alternately displayed with the display,” it was commented.
Viewers will be able to watch different channels on the same television by wearing individual shutter glasses and using individual headphones.
Sony have already shown their technological innovations with the release of the world’s smallest 3D digital camera.
Sony are also known to be working on 3D cameras for consumers.
