Posted on June 10, 2010 | No CommentsHoly wow. I saw this thing this morning but I forgot about it. Then Kyle at Giz pointed out that this laser – made from diodes out of a Casio slim projector – costs only $200 and can burn almost anything. Now I’m interested.

Posted on May 18, 2010 | No Comments
We're about to get yet another 3D-enabled piece of hardware, and this time, it's a projector. Sanyo's PDG-DWL2500J, announced today in Japan (press release in English), is not only "3D ready", but it also boasts the world's shortest projection distance (just 32cm to project images that are 80 inches in size) for projectors weighing less than 9kg.

DIYer combines iPhone 3GS with Show WX for pico projected gaming bliss (video)
Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Commentsdigg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Worlds_First_Pico_Projector_iPhone_Camera'; The Moject project proved that smartphones and pico projectors do indeed have a thing for one another, but Ethan Janson has taken things one step further with an unnamed contraption that holds his iPhone 3GS, a Microvision Show WX and an "ancient" point-and-shoot camera. Put simply, the handmade thingamajig allows him to play his iPhone games on a far larger screen, and since the Show WX continually autofocuses regardless of distance from walls, there's never a blurring issue when flailing about in order to control the gameplay. The full skinny is down there in the source, but shortcut takers can head straight past the break for a video.
[Thanks, Ethan]Continue reading DIYer combines iPhone 3GS with Show WX for pico projected gaming bliss (video)

Posted on April 22, 2010 | No Comments
It's not that there's a shortage of mobile projectors, but when DoCoMo (Japan's biggest cell phone carrier) announces [JP] a model for its 55 million customers, it deserves a mention. DoCoMo specifically suggests using the F01 with Fujitsu's uber-cool "Separate Keitai", a cell phone that breaks into two parts (and that's currently available on the Japanese market only).

Apple’s latest patent: Macbooks with built-in projector
Posted on April 5, 2010 | No Comments
Apple recently filed patent for a pico projector to be integrated into their notebooks. Like the sun-lit display we wrote about a few days ago, it's probably too early to expect much. Nonetheless, this is an interesting idea and I can see it being useful for projecting presentations or pictures when you don't have access to an external projector.

The Field Guide To Modern 3D Glasses
Posted on March 10, 2010 | No Comments
You might want to take a different approach when shopping for a 3D TV than a standard HDTV. Instead of just looking at the picture quality, you should also take a serious look at the brand's 3D glasses. Some show some clear advantages to purchase that brand's 3D TV and until there's a standard format for 3D glasses, each brand requires its own unique glasses, thereby locking you into that manufacturer's products. Yeah, it's a bit messy right now. Click through for details on all of them.

Clamshell home projector cheap, probably of poor quality
Posted on January 20, 2010 | No Comments
File this under "sounds too good to be true". A Chinese artist has designed a projector into a clamshell, with a built in speaker. The unbelievable part? It's only $50. I question what type of quality you are going to get from a projector that only costs $50.
