According to their press release, Motorola and  Microvision signed a deal this week to implement projectors in the next generation of Motorola’s SmartPhones.

The technology will  project pictures and video on the wall.  On the road, this will mean a new tool for giving presentations and at home and in personal life - a way to share video and pictures without doing the ‘pass the phone’ dance.

Check out Microvision’s “Pico Projector Display” for details of their projector technology. Very slick.

The site quotes Rob Shaddock, CTO of Motorola Mobile; “Working together with Microvision, we are pursuing ways that projection technology can redefine how mobile consumers view and interact with the media they take with them.”

Already, seniors are pointing out that this technology will allow them a larger viewscreen for things like text and pix messages.

Microvisiondemonstrated its Pico projector in a mobile device  for the first time last May during the Society of Information Display conference in Long Beach, Calif.

Next up is a working model of the projector embedded in a Motorola phone. The partnership has not yet revealed the estimated time to arrival.
