Realfiction Holding AB (publ) announced the completion of a first version of an ECHO holographic 3D display. The display is based on the Company's patent- pending ECHO technology, which enables glasses-free 3D experiences for multiple viewers. Potential commercial partners are now being invited to view the display at Realfiction's development facilities in Taiwan from late February 2023, with public demonstration to be announced later in the year 2023.

Realfiction's development team, in collaboration with AmTRAN, has now completed a first version of an ECHO display. This display is a 17-inch full-HD display, capable of showing individual 3D and 2D for two simultaneous viewers. This initial size has been chosen to suit some specific use-cases, and there are no known technical limitations preventing the Company from making ECHO displays in larger sizes with higher resolution, as well as for more users.

As opposed to other currently known glasses-free 3D displays, ECHO displays do not reduce the resolution in order to show 3D, which is a huge benefit. Also, there is no reduction in image clarity and quality when showing 2D as other solutions are burdened with. But more importantly, the unique and patent pending directional pixel approach in Project ECHO allows multiple viewers to see individual real-time generated 3D perspectives.

Another unique feature is dual view, where each viewer can see completely different 2D video streams. This can be very useful in some use-cases, one of which is automotive. Here, dual view would allow the passengers to use the display for entertainment purposes, like watching TV or playing videogames, without the risk of distracting the driver, as the driver could simultaneously be watching purely relevant information in the display such as navigation directions. Demonstration of the first ECHO display version is limited to invite-only.

Meanwhile, a couple of important improvements will be made before finalizing the first public display version. When the public display version is completed, the date and place of the first public presentation will be revealed. A public presentation will most likely be held during the second half of 2023.
