3M Launches First Pocket Projector

 

3M will launch their MPro110 mini projector later this month. With its composite video input, you can use it for presentations, playing games, or watching movies. You can even connect you iPod to the projector and watch movies on a table or wall.

It's $360 with VGA and Composite Input.

Upto 50" in a dark room in SD.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

$360 ain't bad at all, though don't expect anything beyond 480i (if even that).



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

That's pretty cool. I wonder how often the bulb has to be replaced, though.

I wouldn't get my expectations too high. Unless someone has developed a powerful light souce that generates no heat, this thing will be fairly useless. At 50" in a totally dark room (I'm talking pitch black) it would take several hundred lumens to be more than a worthless novelty. It obviously has no real ability to to handle serious heat so it's almost certainly LED based putting in just upwind of an oversized keychain flashlight.

I just found the specs = 10 lumens - it's a bigger joke than I thought. The first projectors thought to be useful were 600 and the current models are above 1600 min. Keychain flashlight is not too far off the mark.
