Does anyone make a portable projector with built-in Airplay?

I'd like to be able to turn up at a clients, turn on the projector (ideally it would be battery powered) and start presenting from iPhone, iPad or Mac using Airplay straight away. Nothing to plug in, nothing to setup, no wifi to connect to, no proprietary apps to install. Just turn on and go.

Apple TV now does Peer to Peer Airplay so the tech is possible. But I don't want to carry an Apple TV and Screen! (Or hope the client has one or the other)

Is this a pipe dream? Does anyone make it because I can't find it? Seems like an appealing product...

Cheers

Ian

Hey there.

Here's one that may work: http://www.favientertainment.com/products/favi-dlp-pico-projector-with-miracast- j6-led-pico

Otherwise, you might try Epson. It is a proprietary app, however...

I personally bought an Optoma, because the resolution, picture quality and lumens seem better, and with HDMI support, the airplay support and app seem less important (to me).

Best of luck! Hope this is helpful.

Hi Ian.

I have the exact same requirement as yours. Have you been able to find something to work with?

Thanks.

Yes thanks for that.

it certainly gives "some results" as do other search engines I have tried - none are relevant to what I have described above though.

I also tried a search for "reading questions and providing accurate answers" - that provided some results too - you might want to take a look 😉

Thanks - that Favi ones looks interesting - I'll check it out.

Epson I spoke to recently, and they don't offer any Airplay projectors, it's just that they work with Apple TV (which I guess any projector does) so I think their marketing is tenuous at best, but thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers
