It’s not just phones. Sony showed off some new products that changes the way consumers interact with technology.

Xperia Touch is an interactive projector that allows you to interact on any flat surface as a 23″ HD touch screen, through a horizontal or vertical ultrashort-throw projection. Built with Sony’s own SXRD projection display technology. Through a combination of infrared light and real-time detection with the built in camera, the interface can respond to physical touch and registers at 60 frames per second.

The screen is designed to be minimalistic and accessible in brightly lit or dark conditions. It provides real-time weather information, a memo board for doodles or video notes, calendar access and Skype for video chat.

“Xperia Touch is a revolutionary interface” said Hiroki Totoki, President and CEO, at Sony Mobile Communications. “We’re creating whole new interactive communication experiences with our Xperia Smart Products.”

Xperia Touch is compatible with PlayStation 4 Remote Play, and will run any app or game downloaded from the Google Play Store.

Xperia Touch rolls out to Europe via select retailers and the Xperia Store Online in selected countries from Spring 2017, with a suggested retail price of €1499 (approx. RM 7045).

Xperia Ear “Open-style CONCEPT” is based on ‘open-ear’ audio technology to deliver wireless ‘open-ear’ stereo headphones, so you can listen to music and receive notifications, while still being able to hear sounds from around you.

This technology was developed within Sony’s Future Lab Program, an incubator that enables consumers to trial and shape prototypes from Sony’s R&D division.

Powered by two highly powerful spatial acoustic conductors and driver units, they work together to transmit sounds directly to the ear canal.

The Xperia Ear “Open-style CONCEPT” will be powered by Sony Agent Technology – a personal assistant that uses conversational voice interaction and head gestures to help you get things done, access information and communicate.

Sony Mobile will continue to develop new features to further increase the in-ear assistant capability. ‘Anytime Talk’ is a new voice-chat service in development that will allow users to instantaneously start a group conversation in real-time without searching through contacts or needing to dial, with a simple single button press or head movement. The beta version will roll out for the first-generation Xperia Ear over the coming months.

Sony Mobile is exploring the collaborative possibilities with Sony Agent Technology on Xperia Smart Products and the new cloud AI platform from LINE Corporation.
