- What's going on guys, welcome to a new video.
For today's video,
this is something that I am very excited to share with you.
And I just want to say thank you so much
to Sony for not only sponsoring this video
but for making this all possible.
Now, what we're going to chat
about today is Sony's spatial reality display.
Now this is a very high tech futuristic way
of which you can actually view 3d, but without the glasses
I also had the opportunity to sit
down and interview artists, Tate McRae
who has already accomplished so much
in her career at just 17 years old.
Sony teamed up with Tate
to create a music video for her hit song;
"You Broke Me First"
and this music video was specifically created
and made to be displayed on the spatial reality display.
So I had the opportunity to sit down with her
talk about what it was like.
And then I also got to go
to a very secret location in Los Angeles,
and I got to experience it for myself.
So what exactly is the spatial reality display?
It's a 15.6 inch display that allows you to
have a 3d immersive experience
without the glasses for using eye sensing technology.
It actually follows the exact eye position
of the viewer to create a highly realistic
and virtual 3d experience
that's viewable with the naked eye.
Now we're going to go over and talk
to Tate about her experience collaborating with Sony
and just her overall process and really what it was
like behind the scenes to create a music video specifically
for the spatial reality display.
- Oh my gosh. Tate. I'm so excited
that you're hanging out with us here virtually.
How are you?
- I'm great. How are you
- Doing well, doing well, can't complain.
- When they told me that this project was happening.
I thought it was so cool
because I loved how in your music video
you said you shot it on your phone, taped your mom's car.
Like that is, that is just, that's talent right there.
- It was a process.
I mean, the label literally just said
you got to film a music video.
So we literally just had to work
with what we got and end up looking actually really cool
but it was the process for sure.
- I think it's so cool because they feel like that's sort of
like this generation, it's like, we just figure it out.
We kind of do things ourselves.
And then when people like Sony come in to be like,
Hey let's take your vision
and kind of just completely enhance it.
So what was that kind of like going from taping a phone
to a car while doing this crazy 3d project?
- Well, I mean, the thing
about this music video was that it was, it was really cool.
It was on my phone, but I felt
like there was also like a missing piece.
When Sony presents me with this idea,
where they just literally wanted to bring me to 3d.
I was like, ah, sure, how am I going to do that?
But sure, and it was crazy.
I had no idea what the spatial reality display
that they could take a mini tape
and like literally sculptor into like this little avatar.
It was the craziest thing to see.
- I'm kind of interested in like what that experience was
like kind of looking at the 3d display.
Cause we're going to go somewhere here
in Los Angeles and go and actually get to check it out.
But we haven't tried it yet.
- Imagine you have like a little doll or something
and it's in front of you and it's alive
and it's like this big and it's sitting on your counter.
Like, that's what it feels like.
- How would you say
that this kind of shifted your creative process?
You know, you're normally creating free content
your phone or your computer, but now knowing
that this is going to be 3d, would you say
that that shifted your creative process at all?
- I was definitely more aware of my body.
I mean, thinking that they aren't gonna see me
from all angles and all perspectives is
as a dancer changes your, your idea of what you have to do.
So, yeah that was definitely something
that made me more aware.
I honestly had no idea what they were going to put me into.
I was just more honestly curious
of how they were going to take my dancing and, you know
make it into this 3d thing.
- I was watching some of the behind the scenes
and you had to like do scans with your face
and you're just like, what's going to happen here.
It's like crazy, cause it's, you know, they're like
we need this from and you're just like, okay.
But then kind of seeing, eventually seeing,
the finished project, like it's going to be really,
really cool. I'm excited to see what happens.
- I had no idea, like when they made me download apps
on my phone and made me do full body scans
I had to sit there for like 20 minutes, scanning my face
- That's just crazy too, thinking about the technology.
Like you were doing that from a phone and sending that
to them and they were able to, to make this happen.
- So you basically shots the entire choreography
on your phone and then you sent it to them.
- There was no suits or anything.
It was just me in a studio improving
to little sections of the song.
So I didn't really, I didn't really understand how
they were going to transform it into a 3d thing,
like leading like a video from the side, the back
the front on top, everything I don't understand.
And with everything, all the body scans
all of the technology, it kind of just wound up working.
- Well thank you so much for hanging out with us.
You're amazing.
- So nice meeting you both.
- Yes, you too.
- Oh, I look forward to seeing the 3d project.
- Thanks guys.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Bye
- So now that we've had the chance to chat
with her and get a whole behind the scenes
look into everything that went
into making this 3d music video possible.
I say, we go, we take a look at the spatial reality display
and we actually get to view Tate McCray's.
"You Broke Me First" on the spatial reality display.
Let's go, okay, here we go.
Okay. This is like the future.
Oh my gosh.
Look, I want it.
Okay. So I want to touch it
but I realized that I can't touch it.
So there's a high-speed vision sensor will
it will actually track your eyes
and adjust the picture accordingly.
So right now it's sensing my eye movement
and showing me the projected picture.
It looks like those pieces are coming at me.
I really can't explain it to you guys
but it is basically a very 3d, immersive experience.
But without the glasses, it feels to just feel so realistic.
- So I can't see it
in 3d over here because it's attaching to your face.
- My eyes so you stay over there.
There is actually kind of cool being over here
because as you're moving
I can actually see the screen moving along with your face.
- I was doing that too.
I was like, okay, so she's moving in.
It's adjusting to her eyes.
Now, obviously you guys are not able to experience this
in the full 3d experience.
Cause like I said, it's custom to my eyes.
So what you guys are seeing is the two D version
but they actually have a display in, I believe the BNH store
and I'm going to leave some information
of where you can actually see it in real life.
If you're interested, you have to do it.
It's cool.
You just have to experience this, but I have a good feeling
that this is going to be the future.
So I'm ready.
All right, we are back from our 3d immersive experience
and I have to say it is something that I just
I'm trying so hard to explain.
Now keep in mind that this is a 3d experience
which obviously is best optimized in person.
So trying to display this
on a two D video is very difficult.
So after seeing her music video, I also got to go
to another screen and to see a bunch of other 3d things.
I saw a whale.
I saw a heart, a skeleton, a crab.
The crab was actually fascinating because it just
gave me this whole new perspective of a crab.
Now I know a lot
of you probably have the same question I did
which was what can this be used for now
obviously watching Tate's music video.
For me, it kind of felt like I was at a concert.
It had that real life feel like she was in the room
and she was performing a concert, which was really cool.
So from that aspect, it really opens
up a whole new field of what people can do creatively.
You know, another cool thing is what it could mean
for people in real estate.
Having that whole 3d experience
where you're able to visualize things
and visualize buildings differently.
I can see that being huge.
I really think
that the spatial reality display is going to be the future
for a lot of people
maybe in the creative industry, architect,
in the education, doctors, who really knows.
But I just think that the possibilities really are endless
for what this device means
and what the future of 3d is like.
Thank you so much to Sony
for sponsoring this video and letting me be a part
of the whole behind the scenes process.
It was really cool to kind of learn the technology as well
as to talk to Tate and to hear her experience.
And it was just a really, really fun project to work on.
