Sony isn’t kidding about its IoT ambitions. Having already purchased Altair Semiconductor for $200 million to beef up their home automation initiatives, Sony is ready to release their first concept product for the home that’s designed to take on the Amazon Echo. From Sony:

 The Xperia Agent concept is a vision for a personalised assistant. It will enhance everyday life by responding to voice and gestures – providing you with useful information, communication assistance and home appliance controls. It is also powered by Sony’s voice technology and will respond to a number of commands 

Perhaps the coolest part about this product can be found after the jump.

According to Sony, the Xperia Agent has a

 built-in camera and projector display for projecting content onto surfaces. 

Now I don’t know about you, but any product that gets us towards a Tony Stark-like world is one I’m behind. Much like the Xperia Eye, details remain light on this product as it’s still in the concept stage.
