News: Make Your Own Cycle Projector

pocketgpsworld.com
This project caught my eye during the week. Combine a smartphone, a homebrew cardboard projector solution and an app, "Streetlight" (Google Play) and you have a device that can project your speed, street name, map and other information onto the roadway ahead of you.

There have been similar solutions using expensive pico projectors but this is the first I've seen that uses your smartphone as the basis of a homemade projector. You won't get the levels of illumination you would expect from a dedicated projector but given this was cobbled together from some cardboard and lenses it gave a respectable result.

The author now includes links to commercial cardboard projectors available from eBay and Amazon for under £15.00 making this even easier to assemble. The app code is available on github should you wish to modify it too!
