Moject: a new motion controlled pico projector system

Moject is a patented system of interacting with projected content. Basically it's a motion-controlled pico projector system. The idea is that you hold a pico-projector in your hands and use motion control sensors like a Wii remote. They have developed a prototype (based on an iPhone and a laser pico-projector plus a sample game they developed):

One of the nice things about Moject is that it allows you to get image stabilization and location fix. This means that even if you move your hand, the image will stay in the correct horizontal orientation (although you lose some image size of course) and they also know where you project from, so they can fix objects to locations. So if you pan left, and then right again, they'll know you're in the same location - which can be great in games...



The Moject guys have developed and patented the system, and built a prototype (as seen in the video above). They are looking for industry partners to help bring this to market - whether via mobile-phones, handhelds, media players - or anything that integrates a projector, really. Hopefully we'll hear more about them soon...
