Lenovo Smart Cast

The Lenovo Smart Cast is touted to be the world’s first laser projection smartphone which enables you to project images and video onto tabletops and walls. This unique feature is what sets it apart.

The smartphone carries a hardware projector at the top or beneath. This projector can sense movements via infrared light. A hardware button launches the Smart Cast. When tapped, the button shows a folder containing every app that can interact with the Smart Cast.

The Smart Cast rotates about 270-degrees so that you can switch from table view, which projects an image between your body and the smartphone, and wall view, which projects an image from the back of the phone to the wall in front of you. When you rotate the Smart Cast, the phone will detect the twisting action and automatically switch from table to wall view.

The phone features a hardware button that initiates the Smart Cast. Once triggered, the button automatically pulls up a folder containing every app that can interact with the Smart Cast. Lenovo has developed approximately 10 apps that work with the Smart Cast, including productivity tools like Email, Messaging, Calculator, Video Player, Browser, as well as games like Fruit Ninja and Sniper.
