MacWorld 09 - Microvision Shows Off SHOW WX Pocket Projector

07 Jan, 2009, 10:54 am IST | Shayne Rana |

Microvision, a company that specializes in ultra-miniature projection display products for mobile devices, today at Macworld Conference and Expo 2009 announced plans to unveil the pre-production version of its laser display solution for mobile devices. Providing a better display experience and a 25% package-size reduction over Microvision’s SHOW prototype, SHOW WX, the code name for the new device, combines ultra-thin pocket-sized convenience with the power to project DVD-resolution images up to 100 inches across.

The production version of SHOW WX is planned to be a simple plug-n-play pico projector for people on-the-go. Users could take the pocket-sized projector anywhere, plug it into their portable media players, mobile phones, notebooks and other mobile media devices with TV-Out or VGA functionality and share a big screen experience with friends, family or business associates.

SHOW WX uses Microvision’s PicoP display engine technology to help deliver more colorful and brighter images. The patented display engine technology requires no projection lenses or focus adjustment. As a result, SHOW WX images are always in focus, regardless of projection distance, producing widescreen images as small as 6 inches to as large as 100 inches across.
SHOW WX Features

Easy setup: Simply plug and play.
Small and sleek: Sits comfortably in the user’s hand and easily slips into a pocket or purse; just 118 mm long by 60 mm wide and just 14 mm thick, approximately the size of a personal media player or mobile phone.
Image of any size: Ideal for controlled lighting environments, images are projected as small as 6 inches to 100 inches, or more.
Wide projection angle: Brings the “big screen” closer to the user.
High-resolution (WVGA) and 16:9 format: Serves both consumer (e.g., video) and business (e.g., presentations) applications.
Vivid images: Stunning laser colors combined with exceptional contrast.
Long battery life: Expected for the production version, up to 2 hours, provides plenty of time to view a movie on a single charge.

Initial commercial production is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2009, followed by larger commercial quantities in the second half of the year. Consumers interested in receiving more information about the availability of the production version of SHOW WX are invited to join the VIP Club by clicking here.

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
