I think a mirror with single-axis rotation would be rather like the technology used in the Private Eye HMD, which was incorporated into the Nintendo Virtual Boy: they would only need to project one row of pixels, then rotate the mirror to expand the one row into a whole frame (and update the row of pixels as it rotates). But the whole-frame DMD is likely to be the better choice in the long term, just as the Private Eye gave way to much better HMDs. I have one of the original ones for the PC at home. It connects to an ISA card which emulates CGA in monochrome mode, 640x200. It vibrates noticeably in use. And an all-red monochrome display is not pleasant to look at for long. I ran across one in 2000 and picked it up because I remembered the article announcing it in Radio-Electronics or wherever it was, when I was much younger. :-) http://ecloud.org/journal/private-eye.html Another way which has shown a lot of promise is a combination of lasers and holographic optics, which I don't understand very well. (How to make the laser scan the frame, preferably without moving parts, or only microscopic/nanotech ones?) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: DLP Pico Projector
:( All this worth nothing for Open Moko unless we/someone puts it together and make it useful!? Does anyone have any idea about that!?

(A linked video there was showing a separate projector hooked up to an ipod, showing a movie.) But the phone needs a video output. I would hope it could be digital video, although for the ipod I imagine they are using the composite video pin. IMO the future OM phones ought to at least have the LCD signals available on a connector. (It can be a tiny one, like the Hirose type that the Gumstix boards are using.) Then it should be possible for us to make a daughterboard for driving external displays. (One daughterboard to convert to HDMI, and/or another for composite, depending on what types of projectors become available.) There could be a "sled" for the back of the phone that contains the daughterboard. But if even more signals are available on the expansion connector, other types of sleds would be possible: extra memory (CF or SD slots), extended battery, wireless battery charger, NFC, Zigbee, etc. Later the sled could include the whole projector, when it becomes available. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
