Nebra AnyBeam HAT - Laser Projector HAT for Raspberry Pi

Description

Nebra AnyBeam HAT - Turn your Raspberry Pi into a laser projector!

The Nebra AnyBeam HAT is a low cost, high definition laser projector HAT that works with your Raspberry Pi mini computer.

Conventional projectors tend to be big, hot, noisy, use a lot of power, require focus adjustment, and aren't very portable. By combining the Nebra AnyBeam HAT with a Raspberry Pi you get your very own low cost, customisable laser cinema projector!

The Nebra AnyBeam projects a 720p HD picture @ 60 Hz by reflecting the three colour laser and high speed driving of the MEMS mirror, and scanning the horizontal and vertical two dimensional directions.

Laser vs DLP

The power of this laser technology is endless. Laser offers smaller, lower cost, more power efficient and better quality projections than Digital Light Processing (DLP) alternatives. Unlike DLP, you will never need to focus a laser. You can project onto curved or uneven surfaces - in fact, in some cases, you don’t need a surface at all and can project in mid-air.

• Pocket size
• 150+ inch screen-size
• No need to focus
• Plug in any device with HDMI compatibility
• Fanless
• Bulbless

Features 

• Focus Free
  • In conventional projectors, it's necessary to adjust the focus. The Nebra AnyBeam uses a laser that travels straight and hardly spreads. It's always influenced by the distance, the unevenness of the projected surface, and the curved surface, so it is always in focus.
• No Bulb
  • The Nebra AnyBeam utilises a MEMS scanner which means no bulb is required. 
• High Colour Reproducibility
  • By adopting semiconductor lasers of three colours R, G, and B as light sources, the projector displays a wide colour gamut and colourful images.
• Low Noise
  • With operating noise 0 and low heat generation, adopting a laser with high electro-optical conversion efficiency and a MEMS scanner eliminates the need for a cooling fan, which was indispensable for conventional projectors. It can be applied more freely without worrying about operation sound even in digital signage and embedded applications.
• Compact & Lightweight
  • Because it is focus-free, it does not require an optical system such as a projection lens or a fan for cooling, so it's small enough to fit into your pocket. 
• Low Power Consumption
  • It has high light use efficiency and low power consumption. The power consumption of the Nebra AnyBeam is as low as 3.0 W meaning it can be used for a long time with power bank/battery.
