C3PO Image Projection Comes to Life on a Camera

Well, it's finally happened ...

Remember how Luke Skywalker first saw Princess Leia, with a video projection from C3PO, in Star Wars? How cool was that when I was a kid! And we've been waiting 30 years to actually see it come to life in a similar, real-life, compact form.

Nikon has created a great little 'go anywhere' camera that can also project images and videos. So that a group of people can see them, and not just the person holding onto the camera.

Don't believe me? Take a look. It's pretty cool.

clipped from hypebeast.com The COOLPIX S1000pj is the first compact digital camera in the world to feature a built-in projector. With a simple touch of a button, the camera projects favorite photos or movies clips on any flat surface at up to 40 inches in size. Pictures can be projected individually, or as slide shows complete with music and added effects that enhance the experience. It’s the fun new way to share pictures with family and friends in most any location.
