Pico –boo; Doesn’t Play hide-n-Seek with Projection


Cool Technology! Don’t you just love new gadgets!? Okay, maybe not for some of you. Hot off the presses in new digital gizmos is Pico Projector. I read an article using Texas Instrument integration but little Pico Projectors are around —TODAY! Pico Projectors hit the market last year but they are now providing a much better image quality. And—they’re going to cell phones!


What is Pico Projectors? Have you watched a projection screen image in a sanctuary or large meeting? Generally one of two things is happening: words to music, scripture, etc. is being shown or you’re viewing a report from a committee that is trying to convey large amounts of information or enhancing a presentation. Viewing on this format has generally involved very expensive projectors, costing in the neighborhood of $3,000 to $5,000. Pico Projectors will use your cell phone to cast the same image. I get the sense the viewing format is going to be smaller, by the nonetheless, it's an incredible tool you can now carry around in your pocket.
