Texas Instruments and Brookstone have partnered to launch a new iPhone Pocket Projector case for iPhone 4 devices, which is equipped with Texas Instruments’s Pico projector technology to offer on-the-go video projection.
The iPhone projector case is fitted with a 2100mAh battery and powered by a 15-lumen-LED projection lamp which is capable of projecting a 50 inch image from around 8ft away with a 640 x 360 pixel native display resolution. Its even fitted with a small 0.5 watt speaker for audio output if required.
Features and Specifications
On the side of the case is a small dial that allows you to focus the image and an extra 3.5mm headphone socket is also included allowing you to attach larger speakers if required. When fully charged, the projector may also be used as a back-up battery for your iPhone 4 device. This dual functionality makes it a versatile accessory for both entertainment and practical use.
The 15-lumen LED lamp, while not the brightest on the market, is sufficient for small group viewings in dimly lit environments. The 640 x 360 pixel resolution ensures that the projected image is clear enough for casual viewing, making it ideal for impromptu movie nights, business presentations, or sharing photos and videos with friends and family.
Practical Applications
The iPhone Pocket Projector case is not just a novelty item; it has practical applications that can benefit various users. For business professionals, it offers a convenient way to deliver presentations without the need for bulky equipment. Imagine being able to project your slides directly from your phone during a meeting, making it easier to engage with your audience.
For educators, this device can be a valuable tool for interactive learning. Teachers can project educational videos or interactive content directly from their iPhones, making lessons more engaging for students. The built-in speaker, although small, can be supplemented with external speakers for better audio quality, ensuring that everyone in the room can hear clearly.
The case is currently available to pre-order for $230 and shipping is expected to commence next week. The design also looks very similar to the Monolith iPhone Projector case currently available in Japan.
