Customers loved the projector, and their reaction helped spur integration of projectors into other products. For the past two years, our R&D teams have refined that technology and looked for the best opportunities to deliver a bigger, more sharable display to different customers – even business users. Earlier this year we launched our first module-based tablet, the ThinkPad X1 Tablet, which features swappable modules for extreme productivity, including a projector so you can easily present and share your screen.

We’re also looking at which future products could benefit from a projector, and started with our Smart Cast smartphone concept product unveiled at Tech World 2015.
Equipped with an infrared camera sensor, the Smart Cast projector displays a virtual keyboard and responds to user gestures like typing. If brought to market, these type of advancements in projector technology will allow us to move beyond the traditional limitations of a physical device. Imagine – any tabletop or flat surface could be instantly turned into a keyboard for greater productivity and flexibility. You can see its potential brought to life in this virtual piano-playing demo from Tech World 2015.
As we as consumers continue to choose extremely mobile multimedia-optimized devices, I expect we’re going to see more and more products with second-screen capabilities, integrated or attachable – whether it’s a smartphone with a camera/projector combination, a laptop that projects a bigger display or even a projector that can be bought as a stand-alone device, like our pocket Pico projector.
