OO wireless projector concept is carbon fiber and dead sexy

I really like design concepts that take objects that are mundane and reimagine them in new forms. Projectors are typically boxy devices that you can find in homes, schools, and offices for giving presentations and watching movies. A design concept called the OO wireless projector has turned up at Yanko Design and it has to be the best looking projector I have seen.

The projector uses a semi monocoque carbon fiber chassis and is designed by David Riesenberg. The designer says the projector throws a 1080p image sent to it via WiFi or from an internal SSD. The wireless bit is very cool because you could place it in your home without worrying about how you will get the HDMI cable to it.

The projector also sports some sort of internal battery that lets it work without an AC cord for up to three hours. Three adjustable legs are built-in to allow adjustment of the image. The OO certainly looks good, but it reminds me of one of the flying robots from the flick “Batteries Not Included” from my youth.

Canon REALiS SX7 Mark II LCOS projector boasts 4000 lumens

There are a huge number of projectors on the market today for a myriad of uses. Some of the tiny pico projectors suffer from poor brightness limiting their use. Larger dedicated projectors for home theater and business

use typically cram in impressive features and are bright enough for large rooms. The new Canon REALiS SX7 Mark II LCOS projector is aimed at larger spaces.

The projector has 4000 lumens of light output and has a native resolution of 1400 x 1050. Canon uses a Photo Image Mode to let the user change the look and feel of projected images. Other features include Color Level and Color Temperature functions for fine-tuning the intensity of colors with pre-sets.

A special Ambient Light feature also lets the user adjust the projector for correct colors no matter what the light source in a room is. Other features include a 1.7x power zoom lens, DVI out, and an Off & Go system that lets you unplug and go as soon as the presentation is done without waiting for cool down. The projector will ship in April for $6,999.
