#TechWorld: Meet Sony's new one-touch mirroring feature that puts your mobile on the TV...Simply Amazing.

It takes but seconds to get the TV to mirror your smartphone.

Sony has embraced NFC in a big way this year at CES 2013 with a range of devices--from smartphones to audio products--that support the technology. One of the more interesting applications we saw at the Sony booth is the new One-Touch Remote Control accessory for its high-end Bravia TVs.

To set up the one-touch mirroring, you simply need to place the back of the remote control to the back of the smartphone where the NFC chip is usually located.

This handy remote is what Sony calls its "gateway to one-touch mirroring". Basically, this remote can pair a supported Xperia smartphone with the Bravia TV via NFC simply by tapping the backs of the two devices. There's a small logo on the back of the remote that indicates where the NFC chip is located, though there's obviously no such guide on the handset. However, users should have no problems finding the NFC chip on a handset.

The process merely takes a few seconds, before you'll see the screen of your smartphone mirrored on the TV. This is very convenient to share content, such as pictures and videos, on the big screen. You can even play games, though obviously the game controls still work through the handset. 

To return to your usual TV programs, you simply need to tap the two devices again to disconnect them. It's pretty simple compared with other existing schemes to pair your mobile device with TVs.  

Of course, Sony isn't the only manufacturer that's trying to use NFC in this way--we have seen LG and Panasonic doing something similar. However, only Sony is using an accessory, which has possibly a big advantage over its competitors among couch potatoes--you don't have to get up and walk to the TV to pair them up.

The One-Touch Remote Control will be available in select Bravia TVs, likely the high-end models. According to Sony, this device is optional on its W800 and W700 series of TVs. Sony is also keeping this feature to its Xperia handsets, so you can't use it with other NFC-capable phones.

HBC: The Near Field Communication (NFC) is cool because it creates a new mobile experiences that allows you to share data simply by tapping the backs of you phones. Isn't that nice?
