A Widescreen Laser Projector In Your Pocket 189
Edis Krad writes "Redmond based company Microvision is in the last stages of developing and releasing a portable, laser-based projector, code-named 'Show WX.' The projector has a resolution of 848 by 400 pixels (WVGA) and, since it uses laser-scanning rather than LCD to form the images, it does not require a lens to focus, allowing it to display images virtually in any surface. The device comes with its own user-replaceable battery, which means you could take it with you anywhere you want. Although there is no pricing information on their website, according to this local news video, it could cost at least $200."

There's no price, and demo of this thing working, because it doesn't exist yet. But they do have CG mockups in 10 different colors!

I see this as the perfect solution. Now all I need is the problem to solve.
Perhaps if I coupled this with an iPod and beer the problems would present themselves.

During my bedtime, I also like to look at movies and publications, but my arms get tired for a very different reason. I don't think a laser projector would really help...
