Matchbox-sized Laser Projector

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-am-i-struggling-to-believe-this-one dept.

soupisgoodfood writes "Light Blue Optics Ltd. have developed a laser-based projector called the PVPro. It's small enough to fit into a cellphone or PDA. Some specs: Supports resolutions up to 2048x1280; No moving parts; Infinite focus; Green monochrome, with a colour version expected late 2006; Max consumption of 1.4W with an average of <350mW. Looks a like a good solution to the increasing problem of smaller devices trying to display more information."

    Actually I was wondering if it could project a holographic Princess Leia?

    I have an even better idea. Use this to project a fake doorway onto walls and watch your victims slam into walls, ala Bugs Bunny.

    Hours of fun in my book, much more so than Asteroids or Gravitar. It's funny when it's not you.

    It's even smaller at the size of "2 sugar cubes".


    Damned europeans and their metric units. Hrumph.
