Its easy to be skeptical at first.
The thought of a smart projector in a light socket didnt quite reinvent the light bulb.
Okay, maybe it did?
The Beam Smart Projector isa socket-based displaysystem that fits into just about any light socket in your home.
It projects a screen from your mobile rig onto the surface of your choice.
The dining table, the bedroom wall, even the refrigerator.
The Beam smart projector connects to your mobile equipment or tablet via WiFi or Bluetooth.
It draws power from the socket, and in downtime, it can act as a standard LED bulb.
How would Beam work in the typical home?
Not a fan of chess?
It could act as an always-on display of your current mobile desktop.
It can project recipes down on to your cutting board or onto your refrigerator.
The possibilities are only limited by the flexibility of your socket cord.
The Beam Smart Projector is currently available for funding onKickstarter.
It has smashed its goal of $200,000 with $421,000 and counting.
