Xperia Touch has currently been unveiled. It is basically an ultra throw laser projector that beams content on flat surface, after which you are able to use the camera in order to interact with that particular surface, turning any tabletop, desk, or wall into a touchscreen computer.

This device will be launched in spring, in selected countries, and it will be available for €1499, which is $1591.
This new projector measures around 5.6″ x 5.3″ x 2.7″ and weighs about 2.1 pounds, making it relatively easy to carry from one place to another. However, the internal battery would last for only one hour, and hence, chances are that you will need to keep the device plugged in while in use.

The Xperia Touch runs Google Android Nougat OS and features 3GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage, and it also comes with a microSD card slot for removable storage. It supports 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and NFC and has HDMI and USB Type-C ports also. Well, all this configuration adds it to the must-have list of many tech lovers.
The 100 lumen laser diode projector comes with a 4000:1 contrast ratio, 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, and automatic focus. It can project images between 23 and 80 inches in size.
Again, an amazing feature!
Not only this, it also comes with a stereo speaker, a 13MP camera, and an IR sensor which provides support for 10-point multitouch input. You will also be able to use the system to run Android apps, play games, make video calls over Skype or other video services, watch videos, or even use PlayStation 4 Remote Play to stream games from a PS4 to the Xperia Touch.
Seems like Sony has made a device perfect for everyone from hardcore gamers to topnotch professionals, not to mention the educational institutions and government organizations.
