Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
this was just a curiosity of mine, but i was wondering if there was a pico-projector(or something relatively portable) that could project onto a table(with or without attachments).
the reason i'm interested in this is because I would like to
*keep a privacy filter on my laptop while being able to show other people documents
*show documents without having everybody crowd around one monitor
DO NOT talk about 'file-sharing' of any kind - the entire purpose of this is for in-person meetings where there are not enough laptops for everybody
to be honest, i'm pretty sure something like this doesn't exist, but if it does, i don't want to be missing out on it.
this is for CASUAL 'meetings.' DO NOT tell me to get a screen or project onto the wall. the vast majority of the time i would use something like this is in the library.

YouTube - Dr. Evil and Microvision's SHOWWX
this looks like it will fit the bill. I have no idea what it costs but it looks polished and effective, and it gets presented by dr. evil.

i bought an optoma pk-301 pico projector and its really nice. about a 20 lumen brightness on battery. and when plugged into the wall its a nice 50 lumens brightness. one of the best things about these pico projectors is that they use an led bulb so they have a MUCH higher life then the standard projector bulb.
heres a link to the specs on the projector.

I also bought this tripod for it since its rather portable and extends to a really decent size.(i bought it locally but it was this one)

It doesnt include a mini hdmi cable so i bought this one from merit line (nice 6ft braided cable)

the tripod i posted is what i use. its adjustable to any height up to its specified maximum and can point in pretty much any angle since it has 3 adjusting nobs for that so you could easily put it on the table and just point down.
a portable solution to a screen of sorts that doesnt kill your wallet would be to look for a cheap portable easel and modify it to accommodate a screen like surface.

Pick the tallest viewer as an assistant and hope he has steady hands.
A basic camera tripod would probably do the trick. Best case scenario, the projector you choose has a mounting hole ready in the bottom. Cheapest one you'll find in any shop will do, as long as it's sturdy enough to handle the pico projector
In some cases the facility you are doing the show may already have a tripod available, so you don't have to carry such around all the time. If you are traveling by plane, one possibility is to buy a cheap tripod at target location and donate it to someone when you leave. -
