Sony’s newly established Future Lab is a research and development organization that turns crazy ideas into prototypes and displayed a “black†at the Southwestern South-South Interactive Festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. Technology: A projector can turn any flat surface into a display. This "interactive desktop" concept uses depth sensors and motion tracking to understand when objects are placed on the table.
This projection looks like a realistic version of an Augmented Reality coffee table built by the inventor and technologist Bastian Broecker in 2012 using PlayStation Eye cameras and Microsoft Kinect sensors.
Sony programmed the prototype so that it could identify the British fairy tale writer Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland. When the company representative opens the book, it immediately "resurrections", presenting an animation that can be dragged from the book and interacting with nearby objects such as cups or cards. The tabletop also responds to finger presses by tracking the direction of the hand, and floating the finger over any area of ​​the surface highlights the area of ​​light in the projector that detects movement of the finger.
It seems that, although the practicality of this product is very limited, but this technology has unlimited potential. It's not hard to imagine that this device can be used as an educational tool to transform novels or history textbooks into an interactive classroom or playing games. What's more, a projector like this can be used as an intermediate product between the screen we are using now and some type of augmented reality and hologram-based technology that we often see in movies.
As Sony stressed, the future laboratory project is only a prototype product, and we do not know when it will go public.
