Light Blue Optics PVPro mini projector

by Kevin C. Tofel, posted Feb 13th 2006 at 2:09PM

Is that a projector in your pocket or are you just happy to me? That's what people might be asking if you carry a PVPro from Light Blue Optics. This mighty-mite has no moving parts and is just 3.78 cubic inches, which is roughly the size and shape of a matchbox. Lo and behold, the PVPro uses lasers to project green monochrome images at up to a 1024 x 512 resolution, although the company kindly points out that up to 2048 x 1280 is available by request. The PVPro is really geared towards short-range projection from a mobile device (can you say video iPod?) and there won't be a full color version until later this year, so don't pull your projector from the ceiling just yet.

Most impressive! 2048 x 1280 full color projection from such a small device.

Any thoughts on price?

Even at shorter range then big projectors & smaller size, the huge space savings would make this possibly (price?) an ideal personal projector you can take with you to project photos on a wall wherever you go, at family gatherings, ...

And, I'd point one to the bedroom ceiling to watch DVDs :)
