This looks like a simple idea at first and it is. Then you realise it has a million* unique applications!
Touchpico is a pocket-sized Android device without a screen. Instead it has a built in projector which throws up an 80-inch image on a surface such as a wall. But it also comes with an infrared stylus – are you getting it yet? Now look at the video while I go and lie down.

Touchpico is expected to sell for $499, but there’s till a chance to save almost $200 by funding it on Indiegogo.
* – some hyperbole to be expected due to blogger’s excitement

From what I read it only has 150 lumens. Would the max throw size of 80 degrees be clear and usable still? There’s the AAXA LED Android which has the Android capabilities like the Touch Pico on the market but it doesn’t have the touchscreen capabilities. it has almost 5 times the lumen rating, 550 lumens. I think it’s a brighter projector with the Android capabilities. But the touchscreen feature that they’re bringing in the market is a pretty cool idea! Hope to see more developments.
