Sony introduces revolutionary Xperia Touch projector

KUCHING: Sony Mobile Communications ( Sony) has introduced its highly anticipated interactive Android projector which is fast, fluid and responsive to multi-touch .

“Xperia Touch is a revolutionary interface” said Hiroki Totoki, president and chief executive officer, at Sony Mobile Communications.

According to a press statement, the Xperia Touch is an interactive projector that turns any flat surface into a 23 inch HD touchscreen, with either horizontal or vertical ultrashort-throw projection. The interface is fast, fluid and responsive to

physical touch - it’s built using Sony’s SXRD projection display technology, and touch is made possible through a combination of Infrared light and real-time detection via its built-in camera, at a rate of 60 frames-persecond.

Xperia Touch enables family and friends to gather around a table, kitchen island or flat wall to enjoy games, watch online video streaming services and communicate using messaging apps and social networks.

Its elegant home screen skin is engineered specifically for touch – designed to be both minimalistic and accessible in brightly lit or dark conditions.

It also provides real-time weather information, a memo board for doodles or video notes, calendar access and a Skype portal for video chat with colleagues or loved ones.

Not only is Xperia Touch compatible with PlayStation 4 remote play, it will run any app or game downloaded from the Google Play Store, setting a new precedent for the way hundreds of thousands of application experiences can now be enjoyed.

Its unique projection, touch capability and sensor architecture will provide developers with an entirely new platform on which to build and create.
