In Stuttgart, Germany, Sony showed off their latest coffee table codenamed as AtracTable. This AtracTable will be available sometimes in June next month and it might be the biggest attack to Microsoft Surface Coffee Table.
Sony AtracTable has the similar functionalities as Microsoft Surface such as gesture interactions, and it can connect/interact with various kind of mobile devices placed on the 35-inch interactive touch display.
Sony AtracTable touch display has already support full HD and it has a higher contrast level than the one from its competitor. Sony even claimed that their AtracTable can identify the user by age, gender, and even their ‘emotions’.
Emotion is the most complex things we human have. So, to be able to recognize it is pretty cool and amazing. According to TechChee, Sony AtracTable also coming with a pair of Sony ISS XCD-V60 camera that take roles in generating 3D images.
The system has been developed between Sony ISS and Atracsys, a Swiss optical tracking company. The interface can analyse body movements and act on any gesture or change in position, including your body, arm, hand or finger. More intriguingly, Sony reckons that it’s sensitive enough to work out a user’s age, sex and “emotion” – recognising happiness, anger, surprise, sadness and neutrality.
The technology has now been sold to Sony who will be producing a 35-inch unit for business and industrial use in June. Like Microsoft Surface, atracTable with be able to recognize objects placed on it, though it’s not stated whether it will use rf identification like Surface or rely on its own optical recognition which allows it to determine facial expressions. Cost is not announced.
Here is an “overview” video that shows a number of uses for the Attractable:
