  • LinkBuds Truly Wireless Headphones
    With an open ringed-shaped design that does not block your ears, users can enjoy music and games while listening to surrounding sounds naturally. The compass and gyro sensors built into the main unit work with Microsoft's 3D audio map application "Microsoft Soundscape" to deliver directions and situational information by voice. This can include beacon sounds from the destination, surrounding buildings or information about intersections. This new technology makes more people's city walks a rich experience without having to hold a smartphone in their hands.
  • Alpha 7 IV Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera
    Sony's newest camera features sensory assistive technology that make it easier to see, hear and use. The Alpha 7 IV offers focus assist technology that enlarges the image on the screen to adjust focus on selected subjects. Similar to other cameras in the Sony Alpha line up, the Alpha 7 IV uses advanced artificial intelligence to track the subject using Eye-detection technology and Real-time AF Tracking, taking the guessing out of capturing a sharp image in focus.
    Alpha 7 IV camera equipped with QD Laser's "RETISSA ® SUPER CAPTURE" laser retinal projection technology developed independently by the company will be demonstrated. This technical exhibit is part of the "With My Eyes" project led by QD Laser and supported by Sony. The project aims to change "difficult to see" into "visible" for people with low vision. This compatible accessory allows visually impaired people to experience creating photos and videos with their own eyes.
  • Wireless Neckband Speaker SRS-NS7
    A device worn on the shoulders that spreads sound around the ear. Even in an environment where loud entertainment devices are not appropriate, users can enjoy immersive sound that is easy-to-hear. Since it does not block ears, users can watch movies and listen to music while listening to the surrounding sounds and communication.
