Launched alongside the new 2017 Xperia smartphones, the Sony Xperia Touch is an interactive Android projector, which uses the Sony’s SXRD projection display technology that combines infra-red light and real-time detection (gesture or taps) via the inbuilt camera, at a rate of 60 frames-per-second.
It also serves as a digital hub, as it provides up-to-date weather information, skype access for video chat, and calender access and memo board for written or video notes. The projector can also download apps and games from the Google Play Store, and works with the PS4 Remote Play feature.
