Touchscreen Computer Projectors

The 'PaperLight' Computer Projector Turns a PC into a Smart Board

— June 9, 2016 — Tech
Smart boards are a great technology tool for teaching and enabling students to interact with the digital environment, so the 'PaperLight' computer projector is designed to create them using existing systems.

Existing smart boards are standalone units that are overtly expensive, require a designated computer and will only work with certain software and apps. The 'PaperLight' takes a different approach by enabling any system to be used with it on a plug and play setup basis.

The 'PaperLight' computer projector has a wide array of features including touchscreen capabilities, a water-resistant design, a shatterproof aesthetic and a completely foldable design.

Those looking to get their hands on a 'PaperLight' can head over to the brand's Kickstarter campaign page where the device will be open for pledges for the next month.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Board Alternatives - The PaperLight computer projector is a versatile and affordable option for schools and businesses that want to utilize smart board technology without the high costs and restricted compatibility.
2. Multifunctional Projectors - The PaperLight's combination of touchscreen capabilities, water-resistant design, shatterproof aesthetic, and foldable design opens up opportunities for multifunctional projectors for commercial and personal use.
3. Plug and Play Systems - The PaperLight's easy, plug and play installation sets a new standard in how projectors can be used, especially in educational settings.
Industry Implications
1. Education - The PaperLight offers a cheaper solution to the smart board technology in schools and higher education institutions.
2. Corporate - The PaperLight is perfect for corporate presentations and business meetings.
3. Technology Manufacturing - The PaperLight offers opportunities for technology manufacturers to experiment with more affordable and multifunctional projectors.
