MicroVision SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector

MicroVision’s SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector

makes a fella glad to be alive. Who knows what those poor sodbusters in the Wild West did for entertainment, what with the lack of electricity? Today, we not only have electricity, but we are making it our bitch. Take this accomplishment from MicroVision, which throws out everything we used to know about projected images. No color wheels. No lamps that burn out after all too short of time and are so expensive to replace that you might as well buy a new projector.

With the Laser Pico, the iPhone-sized device takes care of all that for you to project an image of up to 100 inches, guaranteed to be in focus at all times thanks to the laser technology. Made specifically for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod, it is also compatible to other devices such as mobile phones, handheld gaming systems, and cameras or camcorders. Multiple uses here: view family photos, give business presentations, watch movies, and do it all at about 1/3 of what a regular projector will cost you. Device boasts 5,000:1 contrast, 15 lumens, and 16:9 widescreen images of 848 x 480 pixels. 

The MicroVision SHOWWX+ is a portable HDMI laser pico projector that features ultra clear and high contrast video with vivid color. It's also great because you can plug it directly into your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to project your favorite pictures and videos on the nearest flat surface. Take projection out of the boardroom and into the palm of you hand. Since it fits in your pocket and runs on batteries, it can go anywhere you go. Project a movie on your ceiling while you are stuck in bed with the sniffles, review your presentation slides on the back of the seat in front of you on the airplane, do an instant replay of a friend's party foul before you upload it to YouTube... the possibilities for good and evil are endless!
