Incredible things you never knew existed-Smart Beam Projector
Beam is a special elegantly designed projector which is incredibly handy.This cutting Edge technology is developed by a Los Angeles-based startup of the same name, Beam is essentially an Android-based LED pico projector that can also serve as a smart LED light bulb. Screw it into an existing E26/E27 light socket or connect it to a power cable, the choice is yours.
It packs a 1.3GHz dual-core processor, 8GB storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, 12 LEDs, and a couple of 2-watt speakers. Support for IFTTT (If This, Then That) means you’ll be able to automate many of its operations—be they standalone, or those performed in conjunction with other devices—using a series of simple if-then statements. For example: If it’s 9:00 PM on Sunday, then open YouTube.
As of press time, the Airplay- and Miracast-enabled device had secured more than $300 thousand in Kickstarter pledges, with $399 being the minimum that new backers need to fork out for a unit. Apparently, even this so-called “regular” Kickstarter price is a “lot less” than the as-yet undisclosed final retail price.
“With Beam you can watch TV on your bedroom ceiling, play games using your phone or a Bluetooth controller, project recipes on your kitchen counter, stream content from your network drive, listen to music through its speakers, play projected board-games on your dining table, show a presentation or even use it in a restaurant to show the menu and turn the walls into digital paintings,” reads the projector’s Kickstarter page.
According to the company, there is enough secret sauce in Beam to warrant a patent, and so it has filed for one. We are pretty sure they are not referring to the projector’s rather pedestrian combo of 854-by-480-pixel resolution and 100-Lumen brightness. As for the size of the projected display, the device has a throw ratio of 1.6:1 (distance:width) and can project images up to 120-inches wide from a distance of 6.25 feet.Check out this amazing video here.......
