If you look at the video below at about :45 seconds... you CAN see the tell-tale scan lines, but they aren't moving as fast... but the shape is very obvious if you know what you're looking for.




Sony's home helper, the Xperia Agent, is only in the prototype stage right now but it's already sounding like a serious rival to Amazon Echo.

Even cooler is the built-in projector, which pops out to beam images onto the tabletop in front of the Agent. So for instance, you can get the Agent to show you a photo feed from your social networks, or play a video. The projected image isn't massive, but at least it's clear and colorful.
