Lenovo Smart Cast Phone Today we continue our coverage from the #LenovoTechWorld in Beijing, China. One of the cooler concepts that Lenovo was showing off was the Smart Cast phone.
The Smart Cast Phone has a tiny Pico Projector, so it makes the size of your screen a non-issue. Most impressive – the projection is fully interactive, so you can basically turn any surface into a touch surface.
Here is more information from Lenovo –
Whereas today smartphones are limited to consuming content, Smart Cast changes the paradigm by giving users a smart phone with built-in laser projector, infrared motion detector and high-performance algorithms.
This first ever technology combination opens a new world of interaction: Users can project a large virtual touch screen onto a table to type with a virtual keyboard and work with specific productivity apps (calculator, drawing, note-taking and even edit in Microsoft PowerPoint). Using just the projector alone, users can transform their wall into a movie theatre to watch videos, give a presentation or even play games like Fruit Ninja using hang gestures on the table or cast onto the wall.
For a transformative video chat, they can project content onto the wall while viewing different content simultaneously on their smartphone screen.
At Tech World, noted pianist Lang Lang helped demonstrate the possibilities of Smart Cast with a rendition of The Entertainer played on the virtual keyboard with the full size sheet music displayed from the smartphone’s projector
No release date or pricing on the Smart Cast, it is just a concept for now.
