Controller-Inspired Projector Concepts

The 'Minimax' Handheld Interactive Projector is Open Source

The conceptual 'Minimax' handheld interactive projector has been designed by Manyone Design as a piece of equipment for content streamers to incorporate into their entertainment setup. Conceptualized by Manyone Design, the device features a gaming controller-inspired design that's ergonomic and which takes after the PlayStation controller. A series of buttons on the body allow for control, while also further enhancing its controller-like form.

The conceptual 'Minimax' handheld interactive projector maintains an open source design that's capable of being easily shifted around the room or home. The lenses are held in the top section of the unit with a charging port on the bottom to allow for easy placement on a variety of surfaces. The chubby form gives the device an almost cartoon-like aesthetic.
