Sony came up with something particularly good for its public after making a point of how the Xperia Gadgets that lure us away from our phones was the main focus when they developed the series of the fearsome four. Xperia Ear, Xperia Eye, XXperia Projector and Xperia Agent are the gadgets that Sony tells us will help steer our attention away from our nervous reflex of checking our phones. Approximately 150 times a day, according to specialists.
Truth be told, with the advancement of technology in the sense that one can use their phones for nearly everything you once had to use a computer for, together with the vibrant and ever-growing in attractiveness displays, we tend to find it harder and harder to strip ourselves free of our phones. But the four gadgets coming from Sony under the Xperia badge hope to help in that perspective by giving us other wonders to look at, to listen to, to record video with and even to gesticulate at.
All of these were showcased recently, close in timing to the other companies’ announcements, as being in accordance with what the brand wishes to go towards next. Apparently, instead of focusing on simply making your phone a better thing to stare at, Sony wishes to work on the technology that we pair our smartphones to. What good is an-all powerful smartphone without some other gadgets to put it to work with?
Therefore, Sony’s first attempt in this direction starts with the Xperia gadgets that aim to bring at least some extra quality of life. The Xperia Ear, for example, is more than just a simple headphone, incorporating as much as it can in order to keep you away from your phone. By making use of voice support that allows you to issue voice commands instead of operating your phone directly, you can do a huge amounts of things without even needing to look at your screen.
The Xperia Eye, the second of the list, is not something you will find as useful as the former, but still pretty neat. The Xperia Eye is a camera that has wide-angle lens, featuring a ’360-degree natural field of view’ that you can carry on with you and record as much as you wish, without ever missing a precious moment ever again.
The list ends with the Xperia Projector and the Xperia Agent. While the former does not exceed expectations in capability with anything other than touch and voice capabilities, the latter is a particularly clever device that incorporates a broad capability to read and respond to gestures while also acting as a bridge between all other connected devices.
All of the above are, at least for the moment, concept devices or prototypes, but will be put up for purchase later this year – probably Q3 of 2016.
