Microvision: Micro projector for CES 2007

Here’s a cool feature for what’s to come in mobile tech. Microvision has recently announced the release of their miniature digital projector – that little device on the right. The projector, according to Microvision, is designed to be embedded in future generation cell phones and PDAs, allowing users to beam images of their videos onto a nearby flat screen – like a wall. And to give you guys an idea of the unit’s size, that rectangular object beside it is actually a mint chocolate piece.

Since the thing is still a prototype, don’t expect to find it in your shops anytime soon. However, for the guys who want a closer look, Microvision will be unveiling this gadget on this week’s CES event in Las Vegas. Given the other previous announcements regarding the CES, we’re expecting it to be something a tech fan’s Nirvana for the next few days.

Still, it would have been cool to see this thing mounted on a PSP or DS, and the possibilities it could mean for modding. Just think – Projector + GPS Pack = Shion’s palm pilot from Xenosaga.
