While the PoP Video is proof-positive that VEE can enhance the viewing experience of a lower-lumen projector, many people have asked what VEE can do for higher lumen systems. To answer this, we sent a prototype 50 lumen projector (from an ODM partner) to PicoPros.com and let them test it. The link below, as well as the video, is the result of the testing.
To be clear, PicoPros.com were not compensated in any way for this, nor did QuickLogic have any editorial control over the review. The only condition of the review was that PicoPros.com could not show the actual projector or name the ODM, as this product is still in prototype phase.
So, the title pretty much says it all. We’ve loaded a new video blog to our YouTube channel, and embedded it here for your viewing pleasure.
The crux of the video:
Lumens, as a measure of the light source brightness of a pico projector, is scientific
Lumens, as a measure of the viewability (thus, image quality) of a pico projector, is useless
Effective lumens, enabled by QuickLogic’s VEE, while somewhat subjective, is a true measure of the viewability (image quality) or a pico projector
The PoP Video, a 5 lumens projector source with VEE, wholly outperforms a competitive 15 lumen pico projector in viewing experience. The competitive product we feature is a $229 iPhone sleeve projector purchased from the specialty electronics store in most major malls across the USA
“In use, the VEE technology worked quite well. Viewing content without VEE enabled results in some fairly dim images. However, when VEE is enabled, the images appear much more pleasing and, somehow, much brighter. It is something you really have to see in person in order to fully appreciate it’s utility.”
