Technology sure would be a lot more interesting if the world was filled with more innovative pieces of projected tech. Touchscreens are currently all the rage among gadget designers, but the projector is primed for a breakthrough. Projected tech may not be common now, but rest assured that creatives are hard at work designing everything from projected watches to phones.
The benefits of projected tech are many. For one, projected tech saves space. A computer that can project its own display has no need for an external monitor or a display screen. A projected watch means that you never have to worry about scratching a watch's face or about resizing its links. Projected tech may still be a few years away, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it make as big a splash or bigger than the now legendary touchscreen.
