Palm-sized projector with enough juice to screen movies

SINGAPORE — Through our years in school, we’ve learnt this: Projectors whir louder than ceiling fans, are temperamental and out of reach (they often require a chair, the tallest student in class and the added help of a ruler to get to). The new Canon Rayo R4 mini-projector has thrown these perceptions out the window.

Its required set-up is as complicated as attaching one cable — from projector to device. Held snug in the palm, we turned on the 169g projector, which is no bigger than an external hard drive, and the machine started to cast a rectangular stream of white light at a conservative 50 lumens (a normal projector lets out light with at least a thousand lumens).

In less than three seconds, the image on our phone duplicated itself on the wall.

As foolproof as described, the portable projector’s set-up can be done in under a minute. The whole time, I could barely hear a whir. Canon Singapore said the internal fan lets out only a 59-decibel-milliwatt drone.

Projectors are reflective technologies vs the direct view technologies like LCD and Plasma. What it means is that the environment has to be relatively dark. probably a reason why these "Pico" projectors have not caught up.

It has not caught up because people are still figuring what to do with it.
Technically, it is useful in places that have no wall plug since a laptop + pico projector + light color wall are enough to run a presentation, enjoy a football match or games.

If anyone has been lugging around a full blown wall-plug projector, I think he/she will appreciate this.
