Pico projectors are the latest technology to be incorporated into mobile phones, and their introduction could provide technical authors with a new way of delivering technical documentation. They could be of particular interest to those writing documentation that’s used in factories, workshops and other areas unsuited to computers and paper manuals.
Pico Projectors are miniature low power projection modules. They are able to produce full colour, high-resolution images up to 1.5 metres onto any surface. Their size means they can be embedded into mobile phones, with the promise that people can show their friends what they’ve recorded using their mobile phones and other videos, such as music videos of their favourite bands.
They can be used to project other information too, and this could well be user documentation. The aircraft engineer of the future could project the maintenance instructions next to the item they are handling – on a nearby object or wall.
At present, they work best in subdued lighting, but the Lumen output from this technology will increase in the near future.
Great article! Enjoyed this information. Please keep me up to date on this one.
You have done an interesteing post. One thing I like more about blogging is that I read more of their shared conversations as well as their brilliant ideas. Thanks!
