Microvision's PicoP technology can project images onto nearly any surface.
This makes moving pictures available anywhere -- which has obvious benefits for enjoyment and information.
The ability to interact with the images makes PicoP even more valuable as something to enhance surfaces. There have been samples that have appeared in the last year, and collecting those samples on one page, in one post is useful to see the potential.
First, the "Surface Phone" -- a concept prototype.
This uses both a Microvision PicoP & and iPhone 5
On the video start paying attention at 1:10. At the time this was released, we weren't certain that this was PicoP inside, but now we're virtually certain. This could come to any coffee shop, restaurant, or your own kitchen table. -- It's not difficult to imagine any number of industrial or educational uses for this technology.
Whirlpool -- Interactive Cooktop
This is an example of an enhanced surface. With practical application, and of course, not difficult to imagine wide adaptation of this -- or applications beyond cooking.
This prototype was created using a PicoP. The video does a great job explaining the benefits. This makes going paperless very easy, the sample applications are excellent, and it is easy to see how this could become very popular and to soon be seen as "essential."
While the prototype seems a little "clunky" thi

IN CAR DISPLAYS --
Look for Sony @ :41
I suspect that no one will allow this kind of intense display on a windshield, but it does a great job of showing what is possible.
Not certain that it's PicoP, but all of this is possible with PicoP, and with Sony in the mix (and with previous confirmation that Microvision and Ford are working together, likelihood is high.)
Not certain that this is PicoP, but it is very likely. Other HUD technologies would be difficult to implement in this way. (IMHO)
Google & Dor Tal Enhanced Surface Concept
Much of the demo system in the video is software based, but the displays are possible now with PicoP.
Microsoft -- Omni Touch and Surround Web
