Apple patent application details mysterious pico projectors

“In June of 2009 Apple tried to bury the fact that they had begun preliminary R&D on integrating Pico Projectors into future iPhones and/or other Apple media players – but Patently Apple broke the news,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.

“Nine months later a new mysterious projection system patent has emerged,” Purcher reports. “After careful review, we’re now able to see that Apple is taking their pico projector research and development to the next level.”

Purcher reports, “Apple is now exploring multiple avenues of incorporating pico projectors into their hardware which includes a new and very intriguing application. Apple’s patent appears to be describing their work on a few different types of projection systems as opposed to a single projector system. According to Apple’s patent, the projector could be integrated into a dedicated remote controller associated with the projection system or it could be offered as an auxiliary client device such s an iPhone, iPod touch (PDA) or laptop.”
