Mini Projectors Might Bring “Visual Pollution”

With all the hype and excitement of having projectors in mobile devices, it is expected that someone will raise a red flag. Martin Raymond, founder and director of the Future Labratory, recently talked about some concerns that could come with having cell phone projectors. His thought is that the ability to project images where ever you want will, “intrude into other’s personal space.” He calls this intrusion “visual pollution” and is concerned that people will showing images that will be offensive to other nearby people. He went on to say, “So actually, in the guise of something that seems quite sensible, we’re going to see a lot more laws and legislation to prevent us from airing our films in public.”

I think i heard the same comment on spaypaint back in the day. and before that the majic marker, before that the charcoal. At least if you want to edit a projector just put your hand over it.
