Optoma PICO PK-101: Palm-Sized 60-inch Pocket Projector

Here’s a neat little DLP pocket projector offering from Optoma, which manages to produce a 60-inch projection from a device that fits in the palm of your hand. Called the Optoma PICO PK-101, it can connect with numerous devices including iPods and iPhones via an included adapter, as well as digital cameras and DVD players through their AV Out port.

Realistic 3D Holographic Display: Don’t Touch Or You’ll Lose A Hand

A group of geniuses over at USC have come up with a remarkably realistic 3D holographic display. The objects look so real on the video (below) you just want to reach out and touch them, but there’s a reason they’re behind glass.


The 3D holographic effect is achieved using mirrors which spin at high speed. They reflect rapid DLP projections which fire almost 5,000 images each second, creating a three-dimensional object that can be manipulated in real-time at 200Hz.


The generated images can be produced in color and can be viewed from any angle, even from above. Also, the effect can be seen with the naked eye, so you can enjoy the technology without wearing uncomfortable trick glasses.

This is perhaps the most realistic 3D holographic display to date, but is one you’ll have to appreciate from a distance I’m afraid.

TI Unveils Lamp-Free 3D Projector F10 AS3D | Achieves Two World Firsts

Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled its latest projector technology, showing off the world’s first 3D front projection. The 1080p projector is also lamp-free which is another world first.


The unveiling took place at InfoComm, which is bringing a number of new projectors our way including the NEC NP905. TI’s presentation also saw the unveiling of the DLP Pico chipset for mobile applications.


The projector uses a PhlatLight LED light source in place of a traditional lamp to eliminate the need for occasional replacement as well as filter changes.

The F10 AS3D features a full 120Hz refresh rate to produce a flicker-free 3D image at a resolution of 1400 x 1050 pixels.
