Xperia Touch

/in , /by

Unlike traditional projectors, Xperia Touch does more than put on a show. It turns a flat wall, table or even your floor into an interactive screen. With short-throw projection, Wi-Fi connection and state-of-the art touch functionality, this portable projector adds a whole new dimension to your home.

Xperia Touch is connected to the world of Google Play. Swipe through a recipe app, project your chat or keep up with your favourite vloggers. Whatever you like on your tablet or phone, is bigger and better when projected. It doesn’t just show images, it responds to you and your touch. Built with the latest Sony intelligence, it’s a portable projector that’s easy to use and remarkably smart.

Swipe through a photo album or play a multi-player game on your coffee table, Xperia Touch combines infrared light array with 60fps camera capture to turn a flat surface in your home into a 23-inch touchscreen.

Xperia Touch automatically turns on when it senses your approach. Use it as a message board by the front door to keep everyone informed. Or set it up as a wall clock that appears when you’re in the room
