The VAVA 4K Laser Projector turns any wall into a 150-inch cinema screen

Place the VAVA 4K Laser Projector near any wall and there you have it… an instant movie theater. The VAVA 4K Laser Projector ultra-short throw (UST) design with Advanced Laser Phosphor Display (ALPD) technology that allows it to project a massive 150-inch projection on the nearby wall, immersing you in rich 4K content.

The UST format is beginning to pick up as apartments grow smaller, but demand for great displays and technology increases. In its small format, the projector fits the ability to cast a large display without even requiring any buffer space between the device and the screen (like regular projectors do). Its placement also means that the sound (which comes directly from VAVA’s in-built sound system) emerges from near the projected images, creating an experience that is believable and immersive.

The design of the 4K Laser Projector is simple, and follows the belief that home-tech should fit into home designs. With a gray design and a fabric clad, the VAVA projector is almost comparable to the other smart-devices you’d find around your house, from a Google Home to an Amazon Echo. Powered by Android 0S 7.1, the VAVA 4K Laser Projector makes it easy to access streaming media platforms through integrated software. Users will be able to access a variety of streaming media platforms along with a host of apps from the Google Play store.
