Hacked Kinect duo teams up with HD projector to make 360 Snowglobe display (video)

Flatscreen displays? Decidedly old hat; students from Queens University have a better idea: snowglobes. Hacking together a 3D HD projector, two Kinect sensors, and a hemispherical mirror mounted inside of an acrylic sphere, "Project Snowglobe" has created a pseudo holographic display -- presenting a 360-degree view of a digital object. The all-angles display is compelling, but it's strictly a single-user affair; the object isn't actually projected in 3D -- it instead follows the movements of a lone Earthling, rotating and shifting position, in sync with the viewer. The display standard of the future? Maybe not, but pretty darn cool, all the same. Hit up the video after the break to check it out.

MiLi slims down and shuts up with Pico Projector 2

MiLi's earlier attempts at pocket projectors not pico enough for your tastes? The company has shaved off a few precious millimeters, putting the straightforwardly named Pico Projector 2 at somewhere around the thickness of two iPhone 4s -- all said, the thing seems to look a lot like its predecessor to us, in spite of its "massively reduced bulk." The company has also dropped the fan -- rendering it effectively silent -- and has given the thing better battery life, at around two and a half hours of 10-lumen mini video projection on a charge, according to distributor, BeamBox. The bantam iPhone magic latern is set to start shipping in the UK on May 25th for £280 ($452), with a US version coming in the next few weeks, because everyone loves a sequel, right?

Fully working Super8 film projector built totally out of Lego, well almost

Projecting Super8 film is a largely unnecessary hassle these days, but those words are clearly meaningless to camera nut Friedemann Wachsmuth. His painstakingly constructed Lego projector runs at a rickety 24fps without mangling celluloid, and with only the most minor use of non-Lego components (lens, lamp, spindles, bah who's counting?). The contraption serves no purpose other than to hurl photons of pure geek passion at white-ish walls, and previous Lego viewfinders and shutter releases are mere pecks on the cheek by comparison. Turn up your volume before you hit the video because the rattliness of this thing is all part of the love.

OHGIZMO!

Review : Epson projector EH TW3200

Epson made a huge break through with the release of their EH TW3200. It is one of the best projectors out there and is stylish to look at and easy to use. The screen for displaying can be easily adjusted vertical or horizontally according to your liking with the help of two wheels situated on the projector.

Epson EH TW3200 has an amazing remote which feels good to  hold and has various control that help in changing the color or selecting the right skin tone as well as color intensity and also features picture mode which is situated in the image menu. While the sub menu includes RGB or RGBCMY scale. Its setting mode helps in arranging a pin code for child lock as well. It has five default picture modes which you can choose from. For example living room is good as it gives bright image if your room is little dark. All these features truly make Epson projector an amazing gadget.
