Smartphones with built-in projectors -- well, just the two from Samsung, really -- haven't exactly been a huge hit so far, but Lenovo thinks it's finally got the right use case for this combination: beaming a touchscreen or virtual keyboard onto your desk. Announced at the Lenovo Tech World conference today is the Smart Cast, the world's first smartphone with an integrated focus-free laser projector, as opposed to the DLP tech on existing pico projectors. In addition to the usual wall projection mode, there's a "surface mode" that requires twisting the projector cap at the top (to enable reflection), propping up the phone with its kickstand, and then you'll have a projected touchscreen -- be it a virtual piano, a virtual keyboard or even Fruit Ninja -- right in front of you. Alas, that's all the info we've got so far, but you can check out the pictures leaked below to stay entertained.

Lenovo's projector phone beams a touchscreen onto any surface!

ReplyDeleteLenovo's new smart cast technology is something else entirely. Texting a friend is one thing but when I need to respond to work emails while in a coffee shop, I very quickly miss my laptop and a proper qwerty keyboard. I have seen the Samsung smartphones with built-in wall projectors but to have a phone that can cast a fully functioning virtual keyboard on your desk is just awesome. I have not had the opportunity to play with it and can only hope that it is as good as promised. As an avid writer, I can now sit anywhere I feel inspired and take nothing but my phone with me.
