thanks to MD for sponsoring this video from CES 2017 learn more about their rise and processors at the link in the video description so behind me is the sony xperia projector they're not giving us a price they're not giving us any concrete specs but they are telling us how it is intended to work now I've seen projected touchscreen interfaces before there was kind of a weird keyboard like take your keyboard with you anywhere thing but it didn't really work that well this is a whole other level this is a full-fledged Android experience that is projected simply by putting it down on a table onto a 23 inch display with 10-point multi-touch and it's got a bunch of other cool stuff in it as well dual microphones for okay Google stereo speakers it's got an infrared sensor on the bottom that's how it handles multi-touch it's got NFC Bluetooth Wi-Fi it's got a 13 megapixel camera which I'll talk a little bit more about why you would want a block in the middle of your dining room table with a camera on it later and finally it's got a built in battery that's going to have a capacity somewhere in between unplug it to move it somewhere else without rebooting it and actually watching a movie on it so use case number one is pretty simple let's say you're in oh I don't know the kitchen being able to sit and read the news or plan out your day while you're eating your cereal without getting you know milk all over your phone your tablet I'm liking this what about cooking now you've got a 23 inch display that you can interact with and see your recipe and once you've you know gotten everything all messy like I know I do you go ahead you cover the infrared sensor wipe it up freakin fantastic love it moving over to the dining room table multiplayer gaming on Android yeah it sucks doesn't it why does it suck not because there aren't games actually but the fact that the screens are so small means you're really not having a very interactive experience or you're bumping heads it gets a little too interactive so they did a demo where I'm playing this game head-to-head against one of the Sony reps and it actually feels like sitting and playing a board game freaking cool so whether you're looking at like photos or you're you know collaborating on a document or something I'm liking that too but you flip it up now you're in the living room I like this one best so by moving it 25 centimeters away from the wall you can get up to an ATM screen is it competitive with a multi-thousand dollar projector come on get real yes it's a laser projector but no that's dumb but if you're in a dorm or something like that you've got some friends over it is absolutely an acceptable way to watch a movie and if you want to play games they've got Italian with Playstation so let's say you live in a multi-screen house someone wants the TV you go okay well I'll just grab the projector head over somewhere else and I can play off the PlayStation remotely over the Wi-Fi likin that - last but not least let's get back to the camera Skype calls cool right okay the Wi-Fi in the hotel sucked so we couldn't actually perform a Skype call but you can see in the preview here that the wide-angle view of us on the couch actually looks pretty darn good by on a couch I of course mean huddled together behind the tripod so there's a couple use cases for it but of course there are going to be more so let me know in the comments guys if you can think of what you would use a little kind of flexible pocket projector like this for so thanks for watching our content from CES 2017 guys make sure you hit that subscribe button and make sure you check out our sponsor for this video AMD they've got a bunch of information about their new Vega GPU architecture you can head over to Vega VGA we'll have that linked in the video description but this is a whole other way of handling graphics we've seen it running Doom at 4k 60fps absolutely maxed out settings live and you are going to want to get all the details because you're a big nerd like me
