Screenless Touch Screens

Light Blue Optics Pico Projector Puts Touchscreens Anywhere

Light Blue Optics has introduced a portable projector that allows users to project a 10 inch screen on any surface that also doubles as a touch screen.

This flash driven device has 2GB of flash memory and a microSD card slot. It also supposedly has 2 hours of battery life. The beauty of this device is that it takes away the need for computers that have an attached screen and will make laptops that much more portable.

Light Blue Optics has been showing off their cool projection wares since 2004, so it’s great to hear they’re close to turning that “holographic laser projection technology” into a viable product, albeit as an OEM. (gizmodo)

Digital Interactive Teaching Tools

'Pas a Pas' Promotes Learning Through Use of Everyday Objects

The ‘Pas a Pas’ interactive education tool is a fantastic new product that promotes learning through a digital board, camera and interface. Using the objects provided, and other objects, children can learn simple things like shapes, or more complex things like using stop motion animation to create movies.

Three main modes are programmed: Assisting (guides students to place objects in a certain way, and progresses to helping them learn to create realistic animations with stop motion), Directing (children create their own movies), and Collection (children watch previously recorded movies).
