3M's CP45 Combines a Camera and Projector for Projecting on the Go

3M has just released the new CP45 Camcorder Projector. This extremely portable device is an all-in-one pocket camcorder, camera and projector for taking pictures or video and projecting them on a surface immediately, like literally five seconds after you take them. This device allows you to capture images and video in HD and also acts as a mini-mobile projector for displaying your new media.

The CP45 Camcorder Projector from 3M was specifically designed with portability in mind. The entire device only weighs 6.7 ounces with dimensions measuring 4.9 x 24 x 0.94 inches. In addition to being extremely small, the CP45 is also capable of projecting extremely large images, up to 65" to be exact, and can be used to display content on a variety of surfaces, including walls, screens, ceilings or even a T-shirt, if that need ever exists.

This device comes complete with a rechargeable 2100 mAh battery which is said to last around 90 minutes which, to be honest, isn't that long at all. Hopefully batteries are inexpensive, allowing you to buy extras. The CP45 also comes with 2GB of internal memory as well as an external memory that is expandable up to 32GB via microSD card. You can pick up the CP45 all-in-one device now from 3M for around $461 US.

The GP2, building on the success of its predecessor, features the same black and white housing with the addition of a plethora of enhancements, including an intuitive user interface, 720p HD video quality, short-throw projection, integrated iPhone/iPod dock, optional three-hour battery pack and a ton of connectivity options.

The Joybee GP2 is perfect for on-the-go projection and the simple plug-n-play operation and 200 ANSI lumen brightness allow users to share HD-quality presentations, videos, photos and games on a 160" cinematic display. In addition to that, dedicated iPhone/iPod controls also include a remote control in order to make using the devices in conjunction with the projector simple and easy. The G2 also comes with a new carrying case that features dedicated pockets for the power adapter and other peripherals.

This device is also packed with multimedia connectivity, including USB and SD card viewers, a document viewer and mini-HDMI output for tablets and smartphones. In addition to that, a USB display feature allows you to connect your projector to your computer via USB cable, no driver required, while the USB file transfer function allows you to transfer multimedia files to the projector's 2GB of on-board memory storage.

According to President of BenQ America Corporation Lars Yoder, "By incorporating features and benefits that mobile customers value, the BenQ Joybee GP2 creates a unique combination of performance and flexibility. Simply put, for consumers interested in presenting, sharing and entertaining, the GP2 Projector offers an experience like no other mini-projector."

NEC Creates Mini Computer that Projects Images Directly on Your Eye

NEC just released a statement on Tuesday saying that it will begin selling a wearable mini-computer with a head-mounted display that projects its screen directly onto the naked eye.

Known as the "Tele Scouter", this device will initially be targeted at factory workers as well as other industrial settings. In addition to that, the company hopes to advance the technology to expand into the entertainment and augmented reality applications in the future. NEC stated that the computer is about the size of a thick paperback novel and can be worn clipped to the user's belt. The display is mounted to a pair of clear glasses, allowing the wearer to view the screen alongside the real world.

The display, which is manufactured by Japanese company Brother and known as the "AIRScouter", uses a tiny projector to flash images onto the wearer's naked eye. This allows the wearer to experience images as if they were being seen on a 16", 800 x 600 resolution screen from about 3 feet away.

Considering the fact that the image only takes up a small portion of the wearer's field of vision, NEC has stated that it is targeting applications where workers could use it to view instruction manuals or other images while on the job. The handset that comes with the device is equipped with a camera as well as microphone and NEC is also selling a software package that will allow supervisors at a remote control center to share images and chat with the workers via WiFi.

The small computer that hangs on your belt runs a version of Windows CE for embedded devices on a 500 MHz ARM processor. Overall, the entire package weighs less than 1 pound and will run for over four hours on a single charge. NEC stated that shipments will begin on December 26 and that the device will cost $5,200 per unit. The control system software will cost you an additional $26,000 as well.
