Soap-Inspired Projectors

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Soap Beam' Projector Has a Intuitive User Interface

— January 19, 2019 — Tech
The conceptual 'Soap Beam' projector is a new approach to multimedia equipment that draws inspiration from an unlikely source to offer a highly portable solution for avid technology users.

As the name denotes, the projector is inspired by a bar of soap and maintains a compact size that is intended to be carried alongside a smartphone for impromptu content streaming or presentations. This addresses the growing desire amongst consumers for professional technology with a mobile-ready edge as they spend extended periods out of the house thanks to increasingly busy schedules.

The 'Soap Beam' projector is the design work of BKID Co for Samsung and maintains a simple user interface that limits the number of physical controls to make it suitable for amateur or pro users.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Projectors - Designing compact projectors that can be easily carried alongside smartphones addresses the growing need for portable multimedia solutions.
2. Mobile-ready Technology - Creating technology with a mobile-ready edge satisfies the demand for professional, portable equipment as consumers spend more time away from home.
3. Simple User Interfaces - Designing projectors with intuitive and limited physical controls caters to both amateur and pro users looking for easy-to-use multimedia equipment.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can benefit from developing compact projectors that cater to the increasing demand for portable multimedia technology.
2. Communications and Technology - The communications and technology industry can capitalize on the trend of mobile-ready technology by creating innovative solutions for on-the-go users.
3. Audiovisual Equipment - The audiovisual equipment industry has an opportunity to design projectors with simple user interfaces that appeal to a wide range of users, from amateurs to professionals.
