The Giz Wiz, Week of Nov 12th 2014, Show # 1494

TouchPico is introducing a new category of Android tablets. 

Their TouchJet device is an interactive Android PC with projector capabilities. Does anyone want such a hybrid design? Well the company raised more than $850,000 with its IndieGogo campaign, surpassing its $55,000 goal by more than 1,000 percent. The TouchPico interface works just like any Android phone. The TouchJet’s projector has a built-in infrared camera that simulates touch input from the screen and tracks the stylus’ movements on whatever you’re projecting on. The device is also equipped with several unique features, including screen-casting, HDMI output, an SD memory card, air mouse support, Bluetooth capabilities and audio output. TouchJet's portability and versatility is geared to get children out of their seats, excited to take in new material. And hopefully it will encourage parents and friends to enjoy the device together. It can also be used for entertainment (project movies and play games), business (on-the-go presentations), and fitness purposes (stream a yoga tutorial and follow along). The screen can project as big as 80 inches. Currently, the TouchPico is available for preorder for $450 (as of 11/12/14) on the company website below.
