Researchers turn your smartphone into a virtual projector

Pico projectors are an easy way to increase the screen real estate of your mobile phone, but what if you’d rather not carry one around in your pocket or bulk up your phone’s slim profile with a slip on solution ? Well, a team of intrepid researchers may have come up with an elegant solution to your problem that can work with any smartphone and external display: virtual projection. The system works by using a central server that constantly takes screenshots of the external display and compares them with the images from the phone’s camera to track its location

Way-Go flashlight uses lasers to light your path, GPS to tell you where to go

We love just about anything involving lasers or robotics here at Engadget, so naturally, we’re intrigued by Sriranjan Rasakatla’s Way-Go flashlight that combines the two. It’s comprised of a laser pico projector , GPS module, altitude and heading reference system (AHRS) to not only light your path but also tell you which way to go.

Nioncom’s pico projector-equipped mini-tablet gets demoed on video

So, Nioncom still hasn’t gotten its MemoryKick Vision out the door yet (the company has pushed availability in the the second half of 2011), but the pico projector -equipped “mini-tablet” is still alive… even if it’s not so well. The folks at Picopros got their hands on a prototype unit from the company, though, what they manhandled wasn’t exactly the Vision

MiLi slims down and shuts up with Pico Projector 2

MiLi’s earlier attempts at pocket projectors not pico enough for your tastes? The company has shaved off a few precious millimeters, putting the straightforwardly named Pico Projector 2 at somewhere around the thickness of two iPhone 4s — all said, the thing seems to look a lot like its predecessor to us, in spite of its “massively reduced bulk.” The company has also dropped the fan — rendering it effectively silent — and has given the thing better battery life, at around two and a half hours of 10-lumen mini video projection on a charge, according to distributor, BeamBox

Nikon patents DSLR camera / projector, high-end photographers may get to join the projection party

Nikon’s done the projector-in-a-camera thing before, but the S1100pj was aimed at the compact digital camera crowd. In what appears to be an effort to take its game to the next level, the company has obtained a Japanese patent for a way to give a DSLR those same mythical projector capabilities. Though the patent’s english detailed description states that images are “projected on the screen of the photographing instrument exterior via the eyepiece of an electronic view finder,” something may have been lost in translation — the drawings show the projection coming out of the camera’s lens, and our hopes and dreams won’t let us see anything else.

MSI shows off tablet concept with an integrated projector

We’re not sure how we missed this concept tablet at CES a few weeks ago — oh right, there were over 40 something tablets hanging around! — but MSI’s projector-equipped Windows 7 slate sure is an interesting one.
