Sony Keyboard Replacement

If you need to tell a digital device what to do but can't
use a keyboard, voice is the first option that springs to
mind. You can use it for phones, digital assistants and
smart speakers.

But some devices are getting digital eyes in addition to
digital ears. That's the vision, so to speak, of Israeli
startup EyeSight Technologies. EyeSight has mostly
dropped its previous efforts to build its gesture-recognition
tech into phones, TVs and PCs. But it's got a new angle
on the market: connected devices in homes and cars.

On Monday, Sony and EyeSight plan to announce that
the Japanese electronics maker has built the vision
technology into an interactive portable projector called
the Xperia Touch. The device already can project an
image onto a wall or other surface and then use infrared
light sensors to see how you're interacting with the image
on that surface -- slicing up fruit in Fruit Ninja or playing a
virtual piano keyboard, for example.

EyeSight's upgrade will now let you control the content
from a distance, without touching the projected image's

surface. Think Tom Cruise in "Minority Report."
