Introduction to Tech Smartt's Latest Indiegogo Project
Hey guys, welcome back to Tech Smartt! Today we're going to check out an indiegogo project that I think is really cool and something that you might not have seen before. The project is called Puppy, and it's a short throw projector that turns any surface into a touch screen. That's right, with this thing, you can turn your wall, desk, or even the floor into a massive touchscreen display. And we're talking up to 100 inches! I know what you're thinking, that sounds crazy, but trust me, it's actually pretty impressive.
First Impressions of Puppy
Okay, so let's check out some indiegogo stuff about Puppy. Yeah, this was larger than I was expecting, but if it's all in here... That slot looks real interesting. Not too heavy, alright. We'll check that out later. Ah, that could have been it, but nope! This thing's built like a tank and it looks really cool. Let's take a closer look.
Meet Puppy
Alright, here is Puppy. I feel like we should give it a name now, it's only right. What are you naming it? Grover, the Puppy. Boom! Ev, nailed it with that name. So, what's up with Puppy? It's a 10-point any-touch kind of system which allows you to make any surface pretty much touch screen. In vertical mode, it'll go up to 23 inches and then in horizontal mode, it'll go up to 100 inches. You heard that right, guys. That 100 inch TV? Now your dreams are here.
specs and Features
So, let's take a closer look at the specs and features of Puppy. It's only like around three, three and a half pounds. And honestly, if you're into the whole office thing, this is it. If you're trying to make your office next level and really try to get a cooler desk than anyone else you work with, anyone else at school, whatever, this is it.
Here's a quick spec breakdown of Puppy:
* 32 gigs of internal storage
* Quad core processor
* Four gigs of RAM
* It's basically an Android device
* It has Android 6.0
* What's really sweet is it has 36mm dual stereo speakers.
* It also has a USB 3 port, HDMI, headphone jack, and then obviously where you charge it.
* And then a camera right at the top, so volume buttons, power on.
Battery Life and Performance
So, I checked out some videos of Puppy in action. Battery life is pretty good, I'd say. We're talking up to 4 hours on a single charge. And performance? It's actually really fast and awesome. This is really an Android device with Puppy. With it, it starts at $799 on Indiegogo and from what I can tell so far, it works and it works really well.
Battery Conservation
One thing that I noticed is that Puppy has some pretty cool battery conservation features. It's actually able to detect when it's being picked up, which is just battery conservation in action. And, I think that's just one of the many reasons why this device is so impressive.
What's Next for Puppy?
I really wish and can't wait for the next gen because I'm guessing battery life will probably be double, if not triple. But what's really cool is you can actually turn anything into a touch screen. They say up to 100 inches. Let's find out.
Using Puppy with a 100 Inch Screen
This is what Puppy looks like, a 100 inch screen projected on a wall. Obviously, it's not touch screen. The any-touch only works from 23 inches. That's cool if you want to take it really big and throw it on a wall. What I actually got going on is this plugged into a laptop. Pretty easy, just HDMI in on both sides.
