Offering a glimpse at how science fiction technology is getting closer to reality the interactive projector uses depth sensors and motion tracking to detect objects placed on the table and displays additional information and interactive elements to be touched and played with.

To demonstrate its potential a physical copy of Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice In Wonderland was placed on the table, then as the book was opened its content literally jumps off the page for you to drag, move and interact with as you please, simply with the swipe of your finger.

Drawings in the book become animated and can be used to interact with other physical objects such as a teacup or a deck of playing cards. The projector can also be used to highlight passages from the book with the words floating out of the book.

The Sony Future Lab program, set up by the technology giant as a platform for re-imagining how cutting-edge technological developments, can align with “future lifestyles”. Part of the Future Lab’s strategy is to bring early prototypes into public consciousness so that its initial concepts can evolve through hands-on feedback and suggestions.

Of course, it’s not the first interactive projection we’ve seen. Most museums use this type of augmented reality technology and the most notable past product being Microsoft’s Surface — a fully interactive coffee table seen back in 2007, which we all thought was going to land in our living rooms. Sadly, that didn’t make the impact we hoped, mainly due to it being priced in the tens of thousands.
