Arrived at Ginza · Sony Building.


Life Space UX Exhibition is done on the 8th floor of Sony Building, Communication Zone OPUS (Opus).


"Everyday, a new sky experience experience" so that it will be held in the time zone from 11 o'clock to 19 o'clock in the period until April 13 (Sunday).


As I passed through the gate there was a waiting space where the sofas were lined up. Since the exhibition is about 15 minutes in the tour format, wait here until time comes.


I found an entrance to the exhibition room at the back of the waiting space.


From the waiting space you can see the state of the exhibition room like this.


When time arrives, firstly, people asking for explanation ......


Go into the exhibition room.


The state of the exhibition room before the tour starts can be confirmed from the following movie.

The first thing I was informed was the dining space where the table and chairs are arranged.


A light of modern design is installed on the table.


When the guide woman was seated, the image was projected from the light onto the table.


The way to actually manage the schedule and task projected on the table by touch operation is as follows.

Images projected on the table can be touched and manipulated, and it is possible to manage tasks by drag & drop.


Looking up the light from the bottom, there was a projector in the middle.


How do you make interactive images? When it says it is, it is grasping the state of the operation with the sensor which extends tightly from the light side.


And the one that was followed was announced at CES 20144K ultra short focus projector capable of projecting high resolution video of up to 147 inches. It is a simple design that uses a lot of aluminum and does not damage the view of the room.


Looking from the front like this.


From the side.


It is quite oblong body, but the projector part is only in the middle and the size is 1100 × 265 × 535 mm.


A speaker and a cabinet are installed so as to sandwich the projector, and it is possible to use a combination of components.


Why is it larger size 1100 × 265 × 535 mm while small projectors are being sold? Because, because it projects the 4K high definition image faithfully and has a large lens because it shortens the projection distance. In addition, it realized low noise with a cooling structure that allowed space to be restricted to the approximate size of the AV rack, and as a result of emphasis on the layout for centering the lens, it was said that it was such a design.


It is like this when actually projecting images. Small sizeprojectorThere are many things, but the color is faded and the image is rough. On the other hand, the 4K ultra short focus projector was able to project clearly vivid and clear images. Also, even if people come and go in the living room because the projector is on the wall, the picture will not be disturbed.


Actually projecting images with a 4K ultra short focus projector is as follows.

The image of Sony "4K ultra short focus projector" looks something like this - YouTube


画面サイズは66インチ～147インチ、投写方法は3原色液晶シャッター投写方式、表示素子はソニー製0.74型4KSXRDで2654万2080画素（<4096×2160>×3）、光源はレーザーダイオード、明るさは2000ルーメンとなっています。


The cityscape of Paris is reflected on the wall.


Also, four projectors were installed on the ceiling, and the night sky of Paris was projected.


This is the projector section. The projector is a type in which the light and the speaker are united.


When photographing the image of the ceiling, it is divided into four colors as below. This is because the ceiling projector adopts a time division method in which R, G, and B three color lasers are sequentially emitted and combined with colors by human eyes. If you look at the image with eyes it will not be divided into 4 colors, you can see a brilliant one.


In addition, it is possible to reproduce the table of Paris with a projector, or let the noise of the city flow as BGM.


It is possible to reproduce the streets of Paris throughout the room, so that you can experience never before.


Also, 4K ultra short focus projectors allow you to watch movies on a scale that you do not think you are watching at home, and you can also design the space as if you paint a variety of images on walls or ceilings and decorate the painting I can do it.


Next we arrived in a space with a bed.


The image of the aurora was also projected on the ceiling and it seems to be healed while lying down at the end of a tiring day.


The length of the ceiling projector is different in the living space where the bed space and the 4K ultra short focus projector are located, and the longer the length, the larger the image can be projected. The following is a projector attached to the ceiling of the bed space.


And this is a projector installed on the ceiling of the living space. The length is a little short.


In addition, a horizontally long mirror next to the bed.


It looks like a mirror, but when you operate it with a smartphone ......


Mirror changes to display quickly, you can check the information you care about with one touch.

Ceiling projector and table top screen images etc will also be able to operate from smartphone, it is possible to create a space of your choice by simply switching the video without physically operating the projector.


Although the ceiling projector etc. are prototypes, the 4K ultra short focus projector is scheduled to be released around the summer, and the price is about 30,000 to 40,000 dollars (about 3.15 million to 4.2 million yen). Although it is not a price that can be easily handled, going to the Life Space UX Exhibition is recommended as it allows you to experience the powerful image of a 4K ultra short focus projector for free.
