Cool Technology: Pocket-Sized Projector
Originally found on Slashdot: The world’s first palm-sized projector. For Home Cinema sized viewing from personal media players, mobile phones, PDAs, cameras and gaming devices.
Home Cinema sized viewing from personal media players, mobile phones, PDAs, cameras and gaming devices finally becomes a reality. Optoma, a global leader of award-winning digital projection and display devices, will officially launch possibly the first and probably the smallest palm-sized, self-contained, battery-operated, Pico projector. Based upon the new DLP® Pico chipset it will premier at IFA Berlin; Europe’s major consumer electronic show.
Despite being smaller and lighter than many digital cameras or smart phones the Optoma Pico Pocket Projector enables users to share images and videos from their media devices at up to a maximum of 60″ – incredible from a device small and light enough to be comfortably carried in a pocket or handbag.
Based around the latest LED illumination advances and DLP® imaging technology, Optoma have used their considerable expertise to produce the Optoma Pico Pocket Projector to combine clear, vivid, high contrast images with a 20,000 hour lamp life, long battery life and simple operation.
This is just really cool. 480x320px resolution, with a maximum screen size of 65 inches at 8.5 feet. I see the next model having an SVGA port for computers. Here’s a review.
