Handheld Projectors Allow You to Carry Your Presentation in the Palm of Your Hand

Not so long ago when we had to pitch to a client we would present our services by either printing large PowerPoint decks or dragging in our laptops. Now we can transport our presentations in our pockets with handheld projectors.

Two companies are leading the way with these devices, Light Blue Optics and Microvision.

Light Blue Optics offers miniature projection systems for business presentations, automotive and digital signage among other applications.

Microvision offers the above as well as wearable displays, which attach to military helmets and eye glasses.
