GPS-navigator in flashlight

Studying theme replacement display any surface stumbled upon an interesting little thing, and not finding her light Habré, decided to submit it to you. Meet your guide and faithful assistant in the journey - Maptor.






Maptor - a device no bigger than a mini-torch, which is enclosed in a GPS-navigator, map and projector. If about GPS-navigator and map more or less clear, the projector - is the highlight of this device: your "display" can be wall, asphalt, or even your palm. With the help of a projector, you can see the map, with the possibility of its increase, or decrease, and mark its location on the map.



This original gadget was represented by two Korean designers, Jin-Sung Park (Jin-Sun Park) and Son-kun Pak (Seon-Keun Park).

Most of all, he resembles a flashlight. He has a light bulb and it projects light onto any flat surface (wall, sidewalk, and if necessary, or simply on the palm). The only difference is that the projected not only bright spot, and the map with the exact location, and the Maptor equipped with GPS-module and Bluetooth for wireless download maps.

To view the card user needs to activate the device and the image projected on any surface: wall, or even on your own hand.





Until now, there is a gadget in a single copy and is equipped with a Bluetooth module for downloading maps over Wi-Fi and GPS for positioning "on the ground". The device itself is tiny, you can see the details of the design in the picture:



From the front of the projector lens has Maptor controller on / off the back of the lid with a loop for the cord, under which there is capacity for the battery, and in the middle of the controller to control the zoom of the projector.

It becomes clear that for a long viewing card device is not intended (otherwise it would be necessary to protect the hand from overheating). It is unclear what is meant by an environmentally friendly housing - some special plastic? Also remains questionable battery life ...

Maptor looks stylish, and built-in features make it a very necessary and useful tool for travelers. Will a series of this portable GPS-projector and how much it will cost - question.
