HP Introduces Zvr Displays

Ever since the introduction of such computers and displays in the Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report, where he could interact and tell the computer what to do with his eyes and hands movement, people were curious if they would ever see such technology in real time. Hewlett Packard has made the dream come true of those people who have no doubt hoped for this technology to come at some point in their lives. The virtual reality display of HP blows the minds of every tech fan.


HP’s new technology brings the dream closer to life with the Zvr Virtual Reality display. Its new futuristic display will let user control and interact with computer with their eye and hand gestures. The new project of the company will combine the holographic images with virtual reality in its new Zvr display. This display will take the 3D interactivity to a whole new level which is yet to be seen in monitors.

According to HP, “The 23.6-inch display combines sensing and imaging technology from HP’s research labs that change how 3D content is viewed and modified. The monitor projects full 3D images into thin air and users— who have to wear 3D glasses— can then navigate, zoom and manipulate those images without touching the screen.”

For instance, this display will allow the users to tilt, zoom, or manipulate a 3D object with a help of a stylus which will be directly connected to the monitor. The monitors will have sensors which will track the eye and hand movements of the users in order to project images at the appropriate angle. The price of this technology is not disclosed yet, but the launch of Zvr display will begin in late 2015. The monitor will come with a stylus and 3D eye-wear.

The Zvr technology by HP can be termed closer to a 3D television, the only difference is that this is built on a relatively huge 24-inch monitor. The technology has a 1,920x1,080-pixel display that displays a stereoscopic image. This is visible all the while, when the user is wearing simple and lightweight 3D glasses. This technology is most definitely making it much easier to be used, as compared with the VR headsets which consists of active shutter lenses.

The company has yet to announce the price tag associated with the technology, but the gadget is expected to be available in the Spring of this year.
