Texas Instruments’s Pico Projector is small enough to fit in a cell phone (albeit a chunky one, if the prototype is any indication) but ##bright enough to shine a 15-inch-wide image even in a well-lit room.## TI first showed the device at last year’s Consumer Electronics Show, and it’s made only one public appearance since then, said TI representatives who busted it out a small reception in New York last night.

Seeing really is believing with this tech. Point the Pico at any even vaguely flat surface — a wall, someone’s back, the palm of your hand
