Among the products is the new Grating Light Valve digital projector, which reportedly offers unprecedented clarity and contrast and levels. (Scenes from Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones, from Sony rival 20th Century Fox will be screened.) In its FourthVIEW Theater, Sony will be displaying images captured by an "all-direction" camera, enabling viewers to see objects from virtually any angle.
