The tablet market is gradually growing, but if DigiLife have their way it'll go hand in hand with pico-projectors. Charbax over at ARMDevices has been prowling the Computex floor, and has come up with the DigiLife iOne, a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen Android tablet that also has an integrated VGA-resolution pico-projector.

NEC NP216J-3D is a 3D-Enabled DLP Projector Unable to Play Blu-Ray 3D Movies

Evan Selleck, Jun 1st 2010 Discuss [0]

We can't get away from this 3D thing, can we? It's everywhere. Well, at least we have a few years before it becomes so mainstream that it's downright necessary. Hopefully by then we won't need the glasses. This new 3D-enabled DLP projector from NEC Display Technologies won't help the no-glasses cause, and we wish we could say the glasses looked even a little bit stylish. But, as you'll see after the cut, you won't be winning any fashion shows with these on your face. Read The Full Story

3D pico-projectors gather steam: glasses-free by 2012

Chris Davies, May 26th 2010 Discuss [0]

It's 3D all round with pico-projectors these days, as the companies behind the pocketable display devices try to catch a hold of the 3D gravy-train. Sydiant have taken the easy route for their SID 2010 demonstration this week, taping two regular pico's together with a polarizing film in each; viewers wearing standard 3D glasses see the projected image in three dimensions. Meanwhile, Aiptek have confirmed that they're planning both glasses and glasses-free pico-projectors for launch over the next couple of years. Read The Full Story

BeamBox Evolution R-2 pico-projector packs 40 lumens brightness

Chris Davies, May 18th 2010 Discuss [1]

BeamBox have announced their latest pico-projector, and while we're still waiting for the company's MiLi Evolution iPhone-case-cum-projector to arrive, the Evolution R-2 should tide us over. Based around a 40 lumen LCoS chip, making it one of the brighter picos we've seen, the R-2 has an integrated media player for photos, audio and video (like the Evolution R-1 we reviewed last year) together with both PC/Mac and A/V inputs.

360-degree iPhone 3GS gaming with laser pico-projector [Video]

Chris Davies, May 10th 2010 Discuss [1]

Smartphone gaming with accelerometer and digital compass control is great, but adding a pico-projector and making it a whole lot more immersive is, well, a whole lot better. Soundkite took his iPhone 3GS, jailbroke it and hooked it up to a Microvision ShowWX pico-projector, allowing him to play games that are projected onto a nearby wall, ceiling or floor. It's not the first time we've seen the laser pico-projector's focus-free abilities exploited in this way, but Soundkite's system gets bonus points for being DIY.

Shane McGlaun, Apr 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Home theater projectors are the way to go if you want a big image without having to cough up huge money for a LCD or plasma HDTV that has similar screen size. The only drawback is that you need a large room to get a big picture with a projector. Read The Full Story

As well as a VGA resolution projector, you also get a Linux-based OS with WiFi b/g, a battery apparently good for up to 2hrs runtime, and a wireless remote control with a full QWERTY keyboard.

Optoma GameTime Projectors Available Now

Evan Selleck, Apr 14th 2010 Discuss [0]

Optoma is one of those projector manufacturers that keeps popping up in our stream, and we're kind of glad about that. Sure, they've stuck to their pico-projectors like they were the last projectors in the world more often than not, but there's nothing small about these GameTime Projectors. And, what's best of all, is that they're actually under $1,000! Score one for the rest of us, right? Read The Full Story

22MP Display Wall for gigapixel images created [Video]

Chris Davies, Mar 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

As the number of gigapixel images available increases - offering incredible detail from indecently high-resolution cameras - it seems all the more perverse to view them, as if peering through a keyhole, in your browser. Over at the University of Tromsø in Norway they've come up with a better solution, though you'll need a pretty big kit box if you want to replicate it. They've created a 22-megapixel display wall, made up of 28 projectors driven by 30 computers, which can display huge gigapixel images and respond to multi-point gesture control.
