Xperia Touch: A Projector That Lets You Interact With Any Surface
In the past, Sony has given us a number of experimental products designed specially for the home. Sony’s new product Xperia Touch was unveiled at MWC 2017 and is going on sale. It’s an Android projector that can turn any surface into a touchscreen. With Xperia Touch, Sony wants to bring screen-less interactivity one step closer to reality. Unlike traditional projectors, Xperia Touch turns a flat wall, table or even your floor into an interactive screen. With short-throw projection, Wi-Fi connection, and state-of-the-art touch functionality, this portable projector adds a whole new dimension to your home.
Touch Has Its Own Interface.
The Xperia Touch looks very much like a huge external hard drive. But it’s basically a device projecting an Android tablet interface onto a wall. The resolution on the Xperia Touch can only go up to 720p, but it ranges in size from 23 inches to 80 inches. For Xperia Touch, the company has created its own user interface for the Touch. This can combine a lot of information in one place. It includes things like calendar events, real-time weather data. It also has a “memo board” which you can doodle on. You can also access Skype video chat from this screen, or leave video notes for other members of your family.
Sophisticated Design.
Xperia Touch is packed with state-of-the-art technologies yet it’s impressively compact and elegant in design. It’s lightweight and understated, to move seamlessly into any room of your home. This lightweight, compact body boasts top technologies. Xperia Touch features Sony’s SXRD short throw projection unit. The company has also strategically-placed two-way stereo speakers for rich sound.

Sony has a few apps pre-installed that utilize this type of interface, like the piano keyboard app and a drawing app. But what makes the Xperia Touch even more unique is how it’s basically a Google Home as well. Thanks to the new announcement about Google’s app update that will bring Google Assistant, its artificially-intelligent voice bot. It is coming to all devices running Android 6.0 or higher.
