A Projection Display For Your Pocket

Posted by timothy on from the not-my-pocket-that-is-but-yours dept.

lub writes "The German Fraunhofer-Instituts für Siliziumtechnologie is developing a pocket beamer. It uses a laser beam and a rotating mirror to display the image. Another laser and a photo diode is used to verify whether the displayed image is shown correctly, so the electronics can adjust the image when the beamer moves. No colors yet; 320x240 in nice shades of red is what they have now, but higher resolutions and color might be implemented later. I want this in my BlackBerry!"

    Anything would be better than watching the stupid slideshow before movies. All the boring awful ads and quote from Cher and Queen Latifah....

    I was thinking, hey, bring in my own little projector.

    Jesus, am I talking right now?

    Imagine the horrific new crime possible with this gadget: Drive-by PowerPoint presentations!

    This device should be surpressed for the good of all humanity. Think of the children!
