Countertop Video Projector?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday February 5, 2003 @08:31PM from the who-needs-monitors dept.

bcorrigan78 asks: "After reading the recent Slashdot post regarding Microsoft's perfect home, I got to wondering if there was a way to build or buy a counter-top projector like the one pictured in the article here. It looks like it might be some kind of laser scanning low-res projector? Anyone seen anything like this?"

If this is being done on a counter, you would lose the storage space within.

I don't know about anyone else, but I know that when I'm cooking the entire bench space is covered in cutting boards and bowls and ingredients and so on. A top-down projector onto the bench space would be unreadable because the "screen" isn't flat anymore! I thought the idea looked pretty stupid when I read the "Microsoft House of the Future" article. I can't imagine why you'd want one!?
