Sony Corporation Unveils New “Future Lab” Devices

Concept N resembles a pair of Bluetooth headphones, but the device is worn around the neck instead of on the ears. The device has four microphones with noise-cancelling features so it can clearly hear your voice-based commands. The device also features cleverly placed speakers which project the audio to a user's ears without the use of earbuds.

AR tabletop projectors
Sony also showcased a projector that turns a tabletop into a touchscreen while beaming depth-sensitive digital objects onto the surface. It can also recognize and interact with physical objects. In a SXSW demo described by Engadget's Nathan Ingraham, the projector made the illustrations in a physical copy of Alice in Wonderland "jump" off the book and onto the table.

Next-gen game controllers
Sony also revealed an advanced haptic controller, which consists of a touchscreen and sensors that simulate the feeling of different objects inside the device. For example, if a ball is rolling around on the screen, the user feels like there is a real ball rolling around inside the device.
