BEJING: Lenovo introduces a concept phone with a built-in pico projector that turns any surface into a large touchscreen for your phone.
On stage here at its Tech World gadget festival, it showed the phone projecting a piano keyboard onto a surface, and then someone playing a little tune by touching the surface.
He then went on to play a real piano, which had nothing to do with anything. Details are scant, but the phone has obviously got some movement sensors built into the projector, which detect movements and convert them into the equivalent of on-screen touches and gestures.
Lenovo isn’t the first company to release a projector that works as a sort-of touch screen, but it’s the first one to build it into a thin smartphone.More details and hopefully a hands on review to follow.
