Epson Marketing Spotlight-Style Projectors For Retail Settings

Stumbled across this interesting new product being marketed by Epson – a laser projector that’s set up like a ceiling spotlight, but intended to show full visuals, as opposed to simply illuminating an area.

16:9: NEC’s Cool Projected Menu Board

I liked this nice concept NEC had at its booth last week at InfoComm – a menu wall using projection on a textured, wood surface. This is very different from a row of LCD menus set together in an array. In this case, a laser projector beamed the menu options on a dark wood feature wall. […]

A tiny chef pops out of a virtual hole in the table, and proceeds to fire up a grill and start cooking.
