Remember a decade ago when carrying around a boombox on your
shoulder was considered "portable" and "car phones" were the size
of bricks? Bigger isn't always better, particularly when it comes
to technology. With the new Cinemin Swivel pico projector, you can
have the best of both worlds - a tiny gadget that delivers one big
picture. Packed into the size of a candy bar, the Cinemin Swivel
harnesses the same DLP® technology commonly found in
high-definition TVs. The Cinemin Swivel is available this month at
Brookstone stores and Amazon.com for the retail price of
$299.99.
Connect to your favorite mobile device - iPhone(TM), iPod, video
game console, digital camera, portable DVD player - and share media
with anyone, any time, anywhere, including TV shows on the bedroom
ceiling, foreign cinema in the backyard, YouTube on a subway wall,
vacation photos on an airplane tray table, or psychedelic graphics
on the dance floor. Designed by WowWee Technologies(TM) and powered
by Texas Instruments' DLP technology, the Cinemin Swivel features a
unique adjustable 90-degree hinge for ceiling projection. The
lightweight device also sports full volume control, an audio jack
for a headset or speakers, and an impressive battery life with over
two hours of juice - long enough to watch a full-length flick.
"Projection is at the core of what I do. I'm not simply casting
my drawings on the dance floor, but rather reacting to the music,
dancers and the moment," said New York-based Shantell Martin, named
one of the top 10 VJs in the world by DJ Mag. "Devices like the
Cinemin are ideal - small yet powerful, and stylish."
"TVs are old school. Now with my Cinemin I can travel and watch
movies on the ceiling while in bed," said Sid-Z from the
Montreal-based pop rock band Creature. "I'll never turn on a hotel
TV again."
The Cinemin Swivel debuted in January at the Consumer
Electronics Show and was one of the latest featured projection
devices this summer at the 2009 Digital Graffiti Festival.
Filmmakers, musicians, and animators transformed the town of Alys
Beach, FL into a living work of art at the digital graffiti
festival through a variety of projected mediums including
photography and animation. Recently called "easily the coolest new
thing...since the iPhone" by The New York Times, the category of
pico projection is making waves industry-wide.
The Cinemin Swivel from WowWee Technologies is available at such
major retailers nationwide as Brookstone and Amazon.com as well as
from Target's Red Hot Shop, Hammacher Schlemmer, Frontgate, and
Airport Wireless for the retail price of $299.99, and includes
connectors and cables, an A/C battery charger with international
adaptors, and a stylish padded carrying pouch.
