suggestions for a new thingy.... for ben heck

Hey Ben, I had a cool idea I thought you might like to try. I was thinking you could put a pico projector into one of your console in a controller mods instead of a bulky screen. It would work pretty good for road trips in the back seat and would leave the top (button side) of the controller open to insert game cartridges, disks, memory cards if possible. Then if you dont want to play a game you could hook up other devices to the controller through the extra ports of the projector and have that projected instead . http://www.optomausa.com/products/detail/Pico-PK301 <thats the projector I would use since it has decent battery life and other features that would be nice, like it weighs 0.5 lbs so it wouldn't add a lot of weight, the ability to do a large screen 3 - 49 inch, it's bright enough to see in most light, has an 8 inch - 6 foot throw ability, uses LED light so it doesnt get as hot and the bulb has a 20,000+ hour life expectancy. I would love to see you do something with a pico projector, It's the one thing I really haven't seen you delve into yet on the show. I use a projector for all of my media needs at home and would love to see one for gaming on the go.

 

 

sincerely, a big fan,

    I've gotten several suggestions to use pico projectors in various mods.  I'll consider this for upcoming projects.
