Redneck Techie’s vision for a pico projector Wireless Game Gun has been realised… by Microvision. As you can see, the controller allows gamers to break free from their fixed screens and project the battle on any surface.
Using the infinite focus capability of the PicoP display engine, combined with a motion sensing module, it’s now possible to play video games on multiple surfaces, all while tracking your character’s point of view in 3D space.
Granted, this platform looks cool and everything, but it seems like you would have to have a perfectly spherical room to take full advantage of it. Besides the dinky “screen”, the image would become distorted on any misshapen surface. What do you think? Is this a gaming experience you could get into? [Microvision via Crunchgear via TechEBlog]

The image is always in focus, even on an uneven surface.
Also, a video of a video often shows lines that aren’t visible in real life.
If the screen is too small, back away. It will magically get bigger! Projectors do that!
