TAG RESULTS FOR: projector

In my younger and more vulnerable years, I owned many action figures from the hit TV show Transformers. Of course, in those years we didn’t have access to bitchin’ projector clocks with Optimus Prime’s head mounted for show such as this one. This decapitated Optimus Prime voices your favorite phrases from the show, like “Autobots transform and roll out.” You’ll awake swearing that you, yourself are an Autobot. I’m here to assure you: you’re not. It’s $37 dollars, which isn’t... Continue reading

We’ve seen interactive projection walls before but none as artsy fartsy as Wowlab’s. A camera identifies the contours of a human body standing in front of a wall. The projection will then interact with the persons via rain drops splashing in reaction to shadow, water puddles are created, and in the water even constellations may appear. Now if only I could make sense of all the lousy poetry riddled all over their website. Link (via)

Texas Instruments has announced it’s making the tiniest projector ever created commercially available. Dubbed the Optoma Pico, the projector will be available next year with an insanely small DLP chip inside. While it’d be great to see the projector built into your cellphone, Optoma Pico will disappointingly remain a stand-alone mini projector. The product should be making its way to the United States in 2009 with a launch price under $300. Affordable urban theater? Where do I sign? With this... Continue reading

Too negligent to monitor a server system? Well, if you’re a huge Star Wars geek like these Japanese fellows, then you can build your own R2-D2 server monitor out of a $3,000 dollar R2-D2 projector.  The R2-D2 alerts workers whenever a server goes offline and can even project server status on a wall or ceiling. Sooner or later, someone will build the C-3PO server monitor assistant to make smart-ass remarks on work etiquette and tasks. Though R2-D2 would be more... Continue reading

Imagine the possibilities of having a tiny mobile-projector inside your cellphone. You could hold your own intimate private screenings, showcase the bestiality porn you found on IRC last night or broadcast. Really, the possibilities are endless. Thanks to John Van Scoter over at Texas Instruments, we now know that some cellphones will receive a portable projector by the end of 2008. According to Van Scoter, he believes that by 2010, projectors will be as popular as built-in cameras. Some may... Continue reading

Thanks to an innovative design and well-thought form-factor, the Transformer concept phone by Shkinder Maxim can do much more than your average mobile device. The Transformer has the capability to act as a mobile phone, photo/video camera, multimedia player, projector, and is even working on support for holographic imaging and 3D scanning. Featuring 2 independent swiveling and flipping displays, the Transformer can accomplish multiple functions without much change to navigation or form. The concept also talks of a possible 3D...

You know how in fast food ads, the food is always made to look like a perfect specimen of slightly cooked processed beef, but in actuality you’re getting the ugliest meal ever consumed? Something tells us this wide-screen outdoor projector is being advertised along the same lines. In all appearances, it looks like a perfect home theater to have a joyous day with family, outside watching a flick. What they don’t show you is hat coming over the mountain to... Continue reading

This is just too damn cool to ever exist. This concept for the Wii II (assuming there will be one), offers a totally different take on console design, adding portability to the Wii. How is this done you might ask? Well for one, there is a built-in projector which doubles as the laser sensor for the Wiimote. All you would have to do is point it towards a surface and play. The color of the console would be totally customizable... Continue reading
