8 feet projections from inches away and bending around corners are no problem for the Microvision ShowWX laser pico projector. The perspectives of these projections were changed in Photoshop CS4 Extended to provide normal viewing experiences. Feel free to comment below on more ideas for me to try with this disruptive technology!

  • The biggest problem with Microvision's picture seems to be pincushioning (what some call "bowtie: effect), where the edges curve in. That's puzzling since the Microvision has no lens. In fact, I'd expect the opposite effect, barreling (edges bending outward), since the natural shape traced by a central laser (or beam source) is spherical, which is why old CRT TVs had a roundish square screen.

    Do you know what causes the pincushioning, and whether it's really as bad as it looks in the video?

  • So I've watched a lot of videos of this projector and in all of them there is that bar of light moving across the projected screen every second or so. Now is that visible to the naked eye and only visible on camera? Or is it not as noticeable in person?

  • Anyway of modifying the image shape for side projection when playin games console like xbox etc..?

  • like having 2 of them in sync to have 3D (or several in sync to have very large resolution 3D on a proper display surface).

  • @JustPastAlaska I was thinking the same thing. Editing your videos and then having your own in home mini imax dome :) you could even project it inside of an all white tent or something similar.

  • Props man.

    Question, how would one go about doing this on a spherical screen?

  • Wow!

  • Impressive! This is, I think, a killer app for the device. I cannot wait until people like Exhibitor magazine and other trade show organizations embrace PicoP, focus free technology

  • I love the second experiment. Very creative.
