Everyone touts the potential of mobile video, but there’s just one problem: anything small enough to be genuinely mobile is too small for a decent monitor. Some tech companies have tried to solve the problem by getting users to wear video glasses. Others are developing flexible plastic monitors that roll up like window shades, but Texas Instruments has devised a third approach.
The Dallas-based company has a prototype device that projects video from a cellphone onto a wall, a sheet of paper or whatever else you point it at. I first saw it at a trade show in Florida and I was pretty impressed. It wasn’t quite as bright as you’d like and it was a bit heavy, but it looked like the company was on the right track. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks so.
