Turn any surface into a touchscreen with TouchPico



TouchPico, a new crowd funding Indigogo project, is a compact Android PC with a built-in projector. Imagine playing Temple Run, but not within the confines of your phone's screen, but on an 80-inch space. That, precisely, is what TouchPico does.

You can use the stylus that comes with TouchPico to touch and operate the apps on the projected surface.

The projector runs Android 4.0 and has access to all Google Play apps. Therefore, you can open your favourite apps to read a book, watch a movie, surf the web - all on an 80-inch screen. And not just for entertainment, this projector can also be used for professional work like giving presentations or drawing interactive tables; it can also prove to be instrumental for students and teachers alike in the classroom.
 

              On the hardware side, TouchPico has a 1.6 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor, 1GB of RAM and features a wireless mouse and audio output. The projector has a slot for HDMI input and also supports streaming. Users can expand the storage of the device via a memory card. Its lamp has a light output of at least 80 lumens. However, it is noteworthy, that it only works with Wi-Fi.

The funding campaign of TouchPico ends in August, and it will most likely be launched by October. The creators of the projector aim to raise $55 million through the crowdfunding project and have raised close to $100,000 till now. The device costs $499, but is currently available for $329 for a limited period
