BARCELONA—Not every device at Mobile World Congress is a phone or tablet—Sony is launching the “Xperia Touch” a portable short-throw laser projector that turns any surface into a touchable Android device. Sony has shown off the device at various tech conferences as a “concept,” but in Barcelona, Sony is announcing the device as a real product, albeit for the eye-popping price of €1,499 ($1,588, probably ~£1400).

The device is a 134mm × 143mm × 69 mm (5.3 × 5.6 × 2.7 inches) metal box with all the usual smartphone parts, but instead of a screen, it has a laser LCoS laser projector with auto focus. As the name implies, the Xperia Touch also supports touch controls, through a combination of an IR array and a 60fps camera,
