At SXSW, my colleague Karissa Bell and I got to experience this fun activity at Sony’s Wow Studio activation thanks to the power of cameras, projections, and a Microsoft Kinect sensor (RIP).
We weren’t actually inside of any giant see-through balls, but it sure felt that way.
In one of the “Interactive Cube” installation’s demos called “Roving Rover,” two players compete head-to-head to roll through a lunar-like terrain to reach the end.
Projectors cast a see-through ball onto a transparent screen behind both players and the lunar terrain onto a wall in front of them. Read more…

Sony teases an ultra low light camera for its future phones
This morning’s Sony press conference was a real whirlwind. The company announced two new phones and the availability of its Xperia Ear Duo, still managed to wrap it all up in about an hour. All said, it was actually kind of refreshing to be in and out so quickly. There was a quick “one more thing,” however, as it teased a future camera technology aimed at shooting in ultra… Read More
Sony’s smart assistant-powered Xperia Ear Duo arrives in May, priced at $280
Sony’s embrace of smart assistants has been rocky, at best. The original Xperia Ear was an interesting exercise in the concept of carrying your AI with you, but the company has since been passed by the likes of Apple’s Siri sporting AirPods and the Google Pixel Buds.
