Geeks

Can you feel that? Yes, Christmas is coming soon! So it’s time to find the perfect gift for your loved ones. If one of them is a fan of high-tech, but you still don’t have any gift ideas, I’ve put together a little list of ideas especially for geeks.

 

 

Sony MPCL1: a pocket laser projector

The Sony MPCL1 is one of the first projectors to use MicroVision’s promising laser projection process. The projection module uses 3 lasers, one for each RGB channel, as a light source, and a MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) mirror to scan the screen. It delivers a definition of 1920 x 720 pixels, with a 16:9 ratio. The pixels are indeed rectangular (and not square), so the resolution is better on one axis than on the other. The Sony MPCL1 is available for 16, 990rs (approx) from Galaxy, Cash & Carry, FastClick and Courts Mammoth among others. More details in store.
