Well, now you can eliminate the laptop and use your smart phone instead, to make presentations using the LCD projector wirelessly, thanks to an electronic interface kit developed by a final year student of VIT here, that is likely to revolutionize the consumer market soon.
Amit Biswal, the 22-year old final year B Tech student from Odisha, attached to the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the VIT university, has developed a pocket-sized electronic device (using ARM processor), which can be connected wireless to any projector using a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone with android operating system. . "It took five months for me to develop this unit as part of my academic project work," he added.
To control the interface kit, the user needs to install a supporting mobile software application, which has been developed specifically for this purpose, Biswal said. The unit is likely to cost around `3,000. Biswal's guide professor Marimuthu said, the unit had totally eliminated the need for laptop, multimedia presenter and laser pointers.
