**Sony Projector Review: A Revolutionary Short Throw Technology**

One of the most impressive displays at Sony's booth was their new short throw projector. This cutting-edge technology boasts 4K resolution and can transform any plain white wall into an 85-120 inch screen, all from a distance of just six inches to nine inches from the wall. What makes this technology even more remarkable is that it doesn't require any special screens or setup. The speaker system is also integrated into the projector itself, with glass cylinders serving as tweeters and additional speakers built-in for optimal sound quality.

The projector's design is sleek and compact, making it easy to place anywhere in a room. In fact, Sony demonstrated its ability to function well in bright lighting conditions, showcasing that it can still produce high-quality images even when the lighting around it is quite intense. This level of performance bodes well for future use cases where conventional projectors might struggle.

The price point of $30,000 may seem steep at first glance, but it's worth noting that this was down from $50,000 in previous years. As technology continues to advance and prices come down, we can only expect the projector to become more accessible to consumers. With the rise of laser projectors, Sony is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend and push the boundaries of what's possible.

**Introducing AIBO: The Robotic Dog with AI**

A separate exhibit caught our attention - a robotic dog known as AIBO, which has been revamped for its 20th anniversary. This latest iteration boasts advanced AI capabilities that allow it to learn and recognize family members. When confronted with loved ones, the robot becomes more excited and playful, much like a real pet. However, some might find this concept of an expensive toy to be less than appealing.

AIBO's features include a ball-playing mechanism, allowing users to interact with their new robotic companion in various ways. The price point for AIBO is $1,700, which may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those who prioritize practicality over indulgence.

**Sony's Foray into Self-Driving Cars**

A more significant development from Sony was its announcement of its intention to provide imaging sensors for self-driving cars. While the company won't be directly involved in manufacturing or operating autonomous vehicles, it aims to become a leading supplier of high-performance image sensors for this emerging technology.

One notable demonstration showcased the sensor's exceptional performance in low-light conditions and at extreme distances using telescopic lenses. In some cases, the sensor was able to capture even finer details than the human eye could under normal circumstances. This represents a significant step forward in the quest to develop more efficient self-driving systems, where sensors will play a critical role.

Another notable display featured a tunnel situation, where the sensor's capabilities were tested against high dynamic range (HDR) images. In such conditions, it proved capable of handling situations that would be challenging or impossible for conventional cameras. This breakthrough has significant implications for the development of self-driving cars and their corresponding sensors, making Sony an attractive option for manufacturers looking to upgrade their systems.

Overall, these innovations demonstrate Sony's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and exploring new frontiers in areas such as display, robotics, and automotive engineering. Whether or not they become mainstream products remains to be seen, but it's clear that Sony is well-positioned to shape the future of various industries.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enalright guys we are at the Sony booth at CES 2018 and there's a lot of awesome new stuff we got some brand new tech especially with the TV and a lot of improvements over last year's technology they're pretty exciting as well especially in the home entertainment sector and other sections as well so we're gonna take a look at all that stuff we're gonna look at the best stuff some stuff that's just ok but you can decide for yourself let's take a look around and see what's new alright so probably the centerpiece of the whole Sony booth or at least while you first see when you walk in are all of the OLED TVs so there's a Bravia TVs and this is Sony's top-of-the-line we have the a1 II series like we have back here there's a 4k OLED and then also new is a different form factor they're calling the a8 f so it's basically the same thing as the a1 e top picture quality you got the acoustic surface so these speakers are literally the screen itself and on these the stand on the back is basically out of the way completely and the whole idea of the a1 a series is it's all screen no distractions so the only difference with the a8 F is basically just the form factor they have the 55 inch the 65 inch and people apparently were just asking for something that was a more conventional stand instead of the one that was on the back that was lifted up a bit so that's really the only difference but they have the same awesome quality and the a8f is that new one all right now possibly just as exciting as the TVs themselves are the new concept processor they're calling the x1 ultimate and this is not in any production TVs yet although they do have some on display as examples and we could take a look at those in a second and the idea is that this is gonna have a lot better processing power they're using the stuff they learn from making the digital imaging sensors from their awesome cameras and they're putting that into their TVs the TVs we just looked at we're all x1 extreme and I'm assuming next year they're gonna have the excellent ultimate and this thing can do up to 8k HD are processing alright so these are the TVs I'm talking about they have a bunch of different ones on display with the x1 ultimate they have the OLED 4k and they're comparing it with the conventional with the x1 ultimate then they have an LCD version and then they do have that eight K HDR full-spectrum one and that's probably the main one they have its enormous you can see that here and it will be really exciting to see what these look like in the future and I'm assuming we're going to see these at next year's CES 2019 and that will be pretty cool here's another really cool area of the booth it's just a bunch of their different camera equipment they have everything from all their lenses their adapters they got the handycams and of course the camera that I have the FS five the Big Daddy the FS seven of the FS five and interestingly also the RX zero which is their new camera it's more of like a micro Cinema Camera and the example they've been giving is basically you can set up an array of these kind of like make a matrix style so you could create a virtual rotation of the object you could have it show a video then rotate it and then show it continuing that video from another position so it's something that is a little bit more affordable than what they did in the matrix and they said you could do it at home but I think that would be a little bit more expensive than when most people are going to be able to do to buy you know 20 these things but it still is better that I guess it's becoming more affordable for maybe indie filmmakers or something if they wanted to rent them so I just thought you'd like to see all the different types of lenses they have it Sony all the different types of cameras and it's pretty decked out now this is something that is super cool we kind of looked at these last year and even the year before this is one of the new short throw projector it's 4k and this thing can go from 85 to 120 inches of screen on a plain white wall you can see here there's no special screen or anything and it can go anywhere from six inches from the wall which will get you that 85 or about nine inches for the 120 and I think what is most interesting about this like I said is you don't need any special screen you could put this in your living room or whatever potentially and I don't know if you can see here but the lighting it's actually kind of bright in this specific area and yet you can still see the entire screen pretty decently so you can imagine what it's going to look like in a few years what's also really interesting is it's all a self-contained unit the speakers are little in the legs and we kind of looked at a glass speaker previously I can throw in some b-roll of that and that is that technology has been adapted to go into this short throw projector so the tweeters are those glass cylinders right there and then they have some additional speakers built in there and they also said that the only wire going to be coming out of there is probably that power cable because this will be able to open up and you put all your stuff in there and then it all connects internally so the idea is that when it's not on kind of looks like a piece of furniture and I don't know this is pretty exciting although the price is about $30,000 so I don't know if we'll be able to afford anyone anytime soon but it's down from $50,000 that we saw on previous years so it's coming down I don't know I think the laser projectors are probably the newest technology that we're going to see from now on in terms of projectors because you can get so close without Distortion even at that kind of distance you're not going to get that with a traditional lens projector next thing we're gonna look at is the robotic dog known as AIBO and if you remember from nearly 20 years ago Sony released a original version of this and now they're re-releasing this and it uses AI apparently it's supposed to be like a pet from what I've been told the features are most like some kind of toy so not really any use it's kind of stupid to be honest but it basically will learn family members it'll get more excited the more it sees people it recognizes it can play with toys like the ball and that thing so I mean it might be fun it's like 1,700 bucks so if I don't know you have a kid that only likes expensive toys this might be something decent but I don't see myself getting one let's just put it that way now I briefly mentioned Sony's imaging sensors and how they're using that technology in their TVs but another interesting development that they announced is they're going to be potentially positioning themselves to be using their sensors in self-driving cars now they're not trying to say that they're going to become a self-driving car company they're not going to make the self-driving cars themselves or even going into it they want to make the sensors that other manufacturers can put into the cars because they are pretty much the best sensors in the world the lowest noise that's low light the highest dynamic range so they have a demo here showing situations where a self-driving car might be able to use these high performance image sensors where it's literally better than the human eye such that it can see an extremely low light conditions we can show you some examples of them using extremely long distance telescopic lenses with their sensors and they do look in person super sharp super low noise is actually pretty surprising I don't know if I can capture it on camera and then they also had a demo for a high Dan high dynamic range where like I said it's the tunnel situation where you can't really see into the tunnel because the stuff behind it is very bright but the imaging sensor can't so this is actually a pretty big part of their booth and they have multiple demos of it so it seems like something they are really pushing to do and it'll be interesting to see how this develops in the future because we know that self-driving cars are gonna be a thing probably sooner than we think and I think Sony is trying to become a big part of that at least in the imaging sensor category so that is the Sony booth or at least the most interesting things if we took a look at everything it wouldn't be very exciting but hopefully you guys did think it was pretty interesting so if you guys do want to see anything if I see in time you can leave a comment and I'll try to check it out so I'll see you guys next time looking forward to hearing from you thanks for watching have a good onealright guys we are at the Sony booth at CES 2018 and there's a lot of awesome new stuff we got some
