PC Company, Lenovo has announced the entrance of its first smartphone with a built-in laser projector that allows users to create a virtual touchscreen or keyboard on any surface.

Dubbed Smart Cast, the innovative smartphone was unveiled in Beijing, China at Lenovo’s first exclusive global technology event, the Lenovo Global Tech World Conference.

While there have been a few smartphones on the market with built-in projectors, these have focused on replicating the features of a standalone projector. According to Lenovo, Smart Cast is designed to make smartphones as usable as PCs through virtual technology.
The virtual keyboard can be projected onto a table or other surfaces, giving smartphone users a standard keyboard on which to type. The projector can beam the content from the smartphone onto a wall or large screen, making it ideal for making presentations, watching videos and much more.

Also making its debut at the event was the world’s first ‘dual-screen’ smartwatch, Magic View. The smartwatch features a second, virtual display that is 20 times larger than the display of its main, physical screen. The device, which Lenovo says will eliminate the limitations associated with small screens on wearable devices, uses optical reflections to create virtual images.

Shashank Sharma, Executive Director, Mobile Business Group at Lenovo, Middle East and Africa (MEA) described the new devices as breakthrough product concepts that will change the way people interact with technology.

“Lenovo occupies a unique position in the technology industry. This is because we can deliver the devices, smart connectivity and infrastructure required to create a great user experience and satisfy real user needs. More so, we communicate with our consumers everyday regarding how we can innovate together. They are our partners in defining the future of technology,” he said.

Yet another ground-breaking technology unveiled at the conference was Lenovo’s Smart Shoes concept which takes wearable technology to another level by outfitting high-tech shoes with the ability to display mood and fitness data directly on screens embedded into the shoes.

In addition to unveiling new concept products, Lenovo also launched a new logo, which according to Sharma, is symbolic of its ongoing transformation.
