Sony’s Xperia Projector can turn any flat surface into touchscreen

Projetc is perfect for viewing maps on Google Earth

BERLIN: Sony showcased its new Xperia Projector concept at the IFA 2016 fair in Berlin this week and it looks as if it has come out of sci-fi movie.

Xperia Projector, which were first revealed at the Mobile World Congress in February, can turn any flat surface into a touchscreen, removing the need for actual screens while still keeping all the fancy functionality around. The projector is capable of sensing gestures/hand movement thus allowing users to interact with projected objects.



Perfect for cases such as viewing maps on Google Earth, this concept device can also project onto a wall by being placed vertically.
