Deliver spontaneous and memorable presentations with 3M’s tiny, handheld projector

Published 3rd October 2008

Bracknell, UK, 1 October 2008 – Look no further for the ultimate road warrior pocket gadget. The lightweight and ultra mobile MPro110 micro professional projector from diversified technology company 3M is the first of its kind on the market capable of inspiring creative business presentation delivery whenever and wherever required.

MPro110 is ideal for travellers who deliver a lot of presentations but do not want to carry bulky desktop projectors around with them. It is particularly useful for giving impromptu sales pitches to customers while on the road or in a last minute meeting. Equipment hire and availability hassles can be avoided, and crowding uncomfortably round a laptop in confined spaces during meetings need no longer be an issue.

The 3M micro projector is quickly and easily connected to a laptop PC for instant large screen projection on nearby flat surfaces such as walls or ceilings. Photos, video clips, presentations and other visual media can be projected from 5 inches up to 50 inches diagonal presenting a stylish alternative to using small screens on portable digital equipment to share content on the spot. MPro110 can also connect to a range of other digital applications such as multimedia mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras and games consoles (specialist cables may be required).

Comparable to the size of a Smartphone, MPro110 weighs just 152 grams and measures 115L x 50W x 22H mm. Operation is completely silent and its rechargeable battery gives up to 60 minutes running time for even greater mobility. Using LCOS technology MPro110 has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and a native resolution of 640 x 480 VGA.

“Our MPro110 micro projector makes impulsive mobile usage exciting for the business traveller community,” Stephen Bullough, business development manager for 3M’s mobile projection technology in Europe. “Whether you are a salesperson, lawyer, consultant, ad agency, research scientist, doctor, CEO, financial manager or security officer, the practical and creative possibilities for this are endless. For example, when a spur-of-the-moment presentation is called for, users can bring out the MPro110 and have it projecting onto the wall within seconds. It will not only amaze and impress customers and colleagues but it will satisfy gadget-loving business professionals that thrive on ideas generation and spontaneity.”

Available as of today, the MPro110 micro professional projector and has a recommended selling price of £299 including VAT. Please visit www.3M.co.uk/MPro.
