Pico Projector Adapts To New Surfaces, Uses Random Objects As Input Devices

Posted by Soulskill on from the for-when-your-display-surfaces-keep-walking-away dept.

jpwilliams writes "This tiny projector can use any surface you have on hand to project an image. Using a webcam, it adapts to the surface, not just by adjusting keystone, but also following that surface and displaying different amounts of information (in certain cases). The guy in the video also uses a coffee mug as an app changer."

    Of course it can. It's a pico projector.

    Yeah, but can it project different amounts of information onto my dick?

    I'm sorry, I've watched the video and I suspect that it wouldn't be able to detect an object that small.

    Okay, so switching the display by rotating a coffee cup or bottle is nifty, but could get annoying when any movement at a board presentation switches things around. I am much more interested in seeing if the input commands are able to be modified and changed around.
