Buying a microprojector now is a great idea – buying one in 6 months is probably an even more sensible idea but what do you do when you get it? If your like us you will probably spend a few weeks projecting onto just about every surface you can find – from [...]
Part of the technology that is supporting the ongoing improvements and downscaling of projectors from the behemoths of yesteryear down to small form factor projectors and now approaching useable handheld projectors is the LED. LED’s are light emmitting diodes, small ways of providing bright light – and the brightness is the [...]
Samsung has just announced that two of its newest gadgets brought to market are too include micro projector’s. They have developed a competitor to the 3mpro in the Samsung MPB200 Micro Projector, coming in at around the same spec. Further to this development from samsung they also intend to integrate this into one of their [...]
Using a laptop with your micro projector is sort of the simplest way, as they are both usually built for mobility and size it means you can take the combo anywhere and project whatever you need onto whatever surface is available. This is why the recent development of netbook technology is so apt for combining [...]
After our last post describing what we call a handheld projector, we happened across the following video:
This is not really inline with our previous description, its a nice take on the uses of a hand held projector, using it combined with 3d mapping and a virtual pen to create a completely 3d virtual workspace around [...]
Here at micro projectors (microprojector5.co.uk) we have been watching the development of the handheld projector avidly since this blogs incarnation. But then is a hand-held projector the same thing as a micro projector? This terminology does make a difference, slightly. “Micro” makes you think it covers small projectors, of which their size is completely dependent [...]
The theory is simple – you take inertia sensors and yaw rate sensors and use the outputs to stablize the projected image. But the idea is becoming a stable requirement for micro projectors. Think about your standard new age projector, it fits snuggly in your hand (so they can call it a handheld projector) but [...]
