Great Use Case - Le Petit Chef by Skullmapping

Awesome use for projection -- PicoP everywhere!

Project of Skull Mapping

We might need to introduce them to PicoP, but they have the right idea.

The Things We Haven't Though of Yet.

I have said often -- people will come up with ways to use PicoP that haven't even occurred to us. Always in focus projected images will have many uses. There are a lot of very creative people in the world who will be able to think up new ways to use the tool in ways we haven't thought of yet.

This is one of those ways:

Design firm Teague conceptualised an enticing solution: a doctor in a box. You would buy this affordable kit at CVS or Walgreens, then take it home to experience a professional doctor visit teleconferenced into the privacy of your own bathroom.

The kit would contain two pieces: One piece is like a smart stethoscope, capable of hearing your heart or lungs, but also peeking into your ear with a fibre optic light and taking high-definition images on the surface of your skin. The second piece is a teleconferencing camera that sticks to your mirror. It can beam video of you to your doctor, but it can also track your body’s movement, heart rate, and temperature. Plus, it project images onto you or your mirror, thanks to an integrated pico projector.....

“Rather than the doctor saying, ‘left a bit, up a bit,’ it puts a circle on the chest and turns green when you get it to the right spot,” explains Roger Jackson, creative director at Teague. Other functions on the probe, like the otoscope (you know, that thing the doctor sticks in your ear to check if you have an ear infection), have been designed to be bulky and soft to make sure that even children could use it without hurting themselves.

As for its feasibility, that is maybe the most intriguing part of Teague’s concept: The designers think that they could actually create it, not in five or 10 years, but in the immediate future.

Air Browser App

Given the right application, this will be possible with PicoP and a phone -- except you'll be able to carry it with you wherever you go.

Would you like to surf the web, watch streaming videos, read newspapers and do everything else you normally do on your Mac browser, in full screen on your TV? Pinch to zoom, swipe, bookmark pages — all using your iOS device as a remote control?

AirBrowser let’s you do all these things. You can get the full desktop browsing experience on your television, with all the sites you visit optimally scaled to fit your TV’s screen size. Read on and watch the AirBrowser video for more info on this easy-to-use app.

AirBrowser is a specialized app that lets you browse the Internet in desktop mode on Apple TV. It’s very different from Apple’s standard screen mirroring. With this new solution, your mobile device acts as trackpad and keyboard while web content is automatically shown in desktop mode, rather than the usual stripped-down mobile format, on your connected TV. It’s like you control a real mouse pointer on your giant TV screen.

Endless uses for PicoP

One of the reasons I like this company, and follow it so enthusiastically, is that I know, over the long term, there are going to be many uses of it that haven't occurred to anyone yet. Below are a couple of samples of this.

If you dig down to find the prime premise of Microvision -- they make it easy to deliver light and imagery, conveniently and in a small portable package. Where can you use light and imagery?

We found this application before, but it's getting new attention: Here's a link from last year -- at patent from a company called "Accuvein" that mentions Microvision in this application: Accuvein Patent

... And making us look better.

@wearable technologies

“Given the rate of miniaturization of the picoprojector technology and observing the trend of wearables treated more as jewelry and fashion accessories rather than just gadgets, we predict that wearable projection and projection-based jewelry become a reality in a few years,” the team wrote.





Interesting Use Case for Picoprojection, note they are using Microvision's ShowWX
