On February 27th 2017, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Sony announced the forth coming release of its touch screen projector, the Xperia Touch. Sony's new projector can turn a simple table top into a 23 inch, 720p touch screen surface or a screen of up to 80 inches on a wall. The Xperia Touch runs on the Android operating system and Sony expects to offer it to the public in the spring of 2017
The Xperia Touch is a 5.3 x 5.6 x 2.7 inch rectangular box that's set up like a smart phone. The difference here, is that the Xperia Touch doesn't have a screen. It has instead an LCoS laser projector with auto focus. An IR array coupled with a 60fps camera allows the Xperia Touch to make use of touch controls. It also dose this through the use of a GPS and ambient light sensor, and temperature, barometer, humidity, and human detection sensors.
The Xperia Touch has a battery and built in speakers, and its small size makes it very portable. The interface is fluid and easy to use. It can easily pick up your finger and shadows don't appear to cause any problems. The Xperia Touch can even respond to multiple touches at a time, and it also supports swiping. The Xperia Touch is expected to retail for $1,587 and will go on sale in Japan and Europe before making its way to the US.
