Today, Aaxa Technologies is unveiling the all-new P4 WiFi pico projector.  Retailing for $399 for a limited time, the P4 WiFi add some important features to the original P4 that we reviewed on Picopros.  The P4 WiFi, as its name suggests, adds WiFi connectivity for web browsing and data transfer.  In addition, the P4 WiFi bumps up the brightness to an impressive 100 ANSI lumens, thanks to Osram's Converter Green Technology - while maintaining the 75-minute battery life rating.

We get access to some pretty cool products at Picopros.  This is certainly one of those times.  The folks at QuickLogic were cool enough to send us a pico projector demonstration unit showcasing their Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE) technology.  While this isn't the first time we have seen VEE first-hand (we recently published a review of the PoP Video pico projector), this unit offers higher lumen output.  In fact, the device we are showing here generates up to 50 ANSI lumens at WVGA (854x480) resolution using a DLP® chipset with LED illumination.

It's likely that you have never heard of Aereo.  That's because it is only available in New York City at the moment.  But that's about to change. 

In a press release issued today, Pioneer Corporation has announced the availability of two AR HUD models, the AVIC-VH99HUD and the AVIC-ZH99HUD.  Both of these models feature a laser-projected image detailing numerous driving statistics and navigation information and will be available in July of this year.  The result of a joint-development agreement from 2010, the AR HUD relies on MicroVision's PicoP® technology.

After publishing the world's first hands-on video of the PoP Video projector, we quickly worked to put together a more in-depth look at the device.  Offering some unique features, such as the PoP Video app and QuickLogic's VEE technology, the PoP Video pico projector retails for a mere $99.  This device addresses two key issues with many pico projectors on the market: user experience and cost.

We received the PoP Video pico projector from Micron and absolutely HAD to post something as soon as possible. The PoP Video pico projector utilizes Micron's liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology to generate a qHD image (960x540) and retails for a staggeringly-low $99! What's even more interesting, this brand new device utilizes QuickLogic's visual enhancement engine (VEE) technology, which enhances the contrast and viewability of the projected image - making it appear up to twice as bright as comparable projectors! We've been reporting on QuickLogic for some time now - every company in the pico projection space should be talking to QuickLogic. They offer unique methods for enhancing the user experience while maintaining superior battery life.

eyeSight Mobile Technologies is looking to bring their Touch Free technology to your mobile device.  This exciting technology brings advanced gesture recognition to all types of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.  In fact, the company has recently announced that its technology will be embedded in Pantech's new Vega LTE smartphones.

Table Touch is one of the latest installments of a pico projector being used for interactive touch projection.  It uses what appears to be the ShowWX™ pico projector from MicroVision coupled with a "depth sensor" (similar to the MicroSoft Kinect).  This setup allows the user to perform multi-touch operations to interact with the projected image.  We are really excited about the prospects of touch projection.  Check out the video below and, if you like it, subscribe to Asimmittal's YouTube page.

Today, QuickLogic announced that its Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE) technology is being used in Micron's Pop Video pico projector accessory for the Apple iPhone.  VEE is designed to enhance the "effective lumens" of an image - making it appear brighter, with better contrast.

In a just-published video, Sebastian Thrun, a Google Fellow, talks with Charlie Rose about many exciting things that Google is working on.  Most notably, Dr. Thrun talks about Google Glass, the fascinating augmented reality eyewear project that will become a reality for some lucky consumers this year.  This video is a MUST watch.
