so this thing caught my attention I saw it I think floating around Amazon it's called the touch jet pond it is a touch projector try to formulate what you think that means essentially the projected screen is touchable with this pen right here so as you might expect you're playing fruit ninja with a pen on a giant it's it's bizarre it's cool though it's got bluetooth Wi-Fi USB and HDMI so there's a number of different ways to interface with it they're using it to uh well I guess spice up their dad's look there as you could tell that's the same guy I think they used the same guy with his family as they did with the annual report she's crossing out the results though I don't know if that's good for him maybe he's not gonna get that Christmas bonus okay let's open it up and see how this thing works I'm excited to touch a projection screen oh it all fits into this carrying case here whoa that is smaller than I expected it to be look at that so you've got some controls on the side here a tripod mount on the bottom it also looks like a little camera there maybe that's how it maps your input with the pen a USB input HDMI audio out and DC in there is a that's mini HDMI I think - full size HDMI adapter if I wanted to put a full size HDMI source in there like a laptop or a game console something like that I could do so here's some batteries right here ah for the Pens whew those are substantial that's a hefty pen right there kind of like a cigar over there this part screws out and batteries go in there as well and it looks like there's one more cable here micro USB 2 female USB like a USB thumb drive maybe that has files on it video files something that you want to access over that port I'm gonna do I'm gonna get this baby rigged up now dim a few lights and see what we're working with so got it rigged up there I'm sort of shooting it down onto the table here now I do have a piece of bristol board here as well just to cut down on the glare a little bit the crazy part is this pen becomes your input it's really like having a giant Android tablet or phone you see like I can scroll through like that back out of here I've got you know complete interface this isn't as big as it could possibly get either right what happens for keying something in it's a giant touchscreen essentially so I could be like unbox therapy here's a recent video and exactly like using the app on your phone you can get rid of it like that now the nub it clicks down like this and the click actually acts as the tab it's going to try to sense the location of it map it using the camera on the device to register that click the other thing is it has a built in battery so if we wanted to do like a movie night take it into the backyard broadcast on the back of your house see this is actually how you calibrate the pen in there tap down hold tap down hold because this is the true test right now oh boy boom whoa no oh that's cool right wow that is such a strange sensation it's it's really like drawing right on your table but digitally Oh Oh Jack's got a tail ha there you go become an artist
