Projector Display for Mobile Phones
July 30, 2007 by Lauren
Plenty of workers in today's society deal with presentations, the most common form of which being projection. Though we sure have developed some nice ones, carrying around a projector would clearly be no easy task, especially considering most already lug a laptop. Granted, places of work may be able to provide for you, but it'd sure be nice to have super-portable means instead. I won't suggest that a phone could do that for you, but that's the next big project with Motorola.
Motorola has entered an agreement with Microvision, looking to bring projector displays to your mobile device. This should be done utilizing Microvision's PicoP, involving a laser-based projector technology small enough to squeeze inside of something like a phone. Even then, we aren't expected to sacrifice what they are calling the "big screen viewing experience."
Just as normal, the content should be projected from your device onto a blank wall, or really onto any other surface you like. This would allow us to share anything from movies to presentations, personal videos, mobile TV, photographs, or websites with colleagues and friends.
"With its slim form factor and low power requirements,
Microvision's PicoP projector is optimized for the mobile
environment," says Alexander Tokman, President and CEO of
Microvision. "We believe that our unique display technology, combined
with Motorola's focus on delivering cool experiences, would allow
mobile users to enhance their viewing of information and
entertainment."
This up-and-coming feature definitely shows advancement and it has a lot of potential, I'll say that for it. It has the massive potential to be convenient, effecient, and just cool in general. If you have the right kind of phone and applications, Powerpoint could actually come with you and be presented anywhere from a phone, which is sweet. Then again, it also has the massive potential to be annoying. Ever have some light reflected into your face or a laser pointer aimed at you? I rest my case.
