Sony Makes Your Tabletop Interactive With Projector Prototype
Sony recently launched Future Lab, a research and development program focused on using user feedback to improve experimental products. One of Future Lab's first experiments is with an interactive projector that turns your table top into an interactive surface.
In this video, Sony illustrates how the technology could breathe life into an inanimate book. The demonstration of Future Lab’s interactive projector shows off some of its capabilities, including image recognition, the ability to touch and drag projections across the surface, and highlight sentences from a copy of “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland.”
Future lab also demoed a speaker necklace with voice commands, a projector that swivels on an axis to project more freely, and a wearable ring that senses gestures instead of voices. To see more experiments with projectors, click here to see what Microsoft has been up to.
