Pint-Sized Projector

The “internet of things” is an absolute phenomenon. Everything you see now is connecting to the internet. Smart shoes that track your movements, smart toaster that burns Instagram images onto your toast, the list goes on with each possibility more ridiculous than the previous one. Amongst all the fluff, there are a really just a handful of meaningful smart-things and apps out there. Beam is one of them. Designed to fit into a light-bulb socket, this supremely simple and compact projector works like a charm, beaming content from your phone onto any flat surface you can find around you.

The Beam app makes for a smooth transition from one screen to another, allowing you to even choose what to broadcast to the Beam Projector. Definitely better than having a Smart-washing machine that connects to your facebook…!
