Tween Tech Ideas: Projector for Video Gaming Systems



For your tween video game fans, there are video projectors which will integrate with gaming consoles to provide a projection onto a wall, bypassing the need for a television. There have become better quality, lower cost options, sufficient for the interests and needs of tweens, and inexpensive enough to provide an alternative to a huge television. My own tween son has a Jakks Pacific Eyeclops Projector, which has served for a couple of years as a means of playing video games without hogging the family television. The video quality is not pristine, of course, but the cost was low, and the result, perfect for the need.

You should be aware that picture quality will be affected by how dark the operating environment is, along with the surface onto which the picture is projected.  It's not going to be at all equivalent to the quality of a television.  My tween son loves to create a tented environment for daytime use, and finds it integrates well with plug and play video games, along with older gaming systems like game cube.  This will also work well with a portable dvd player, as long as it's used in a darkened room.
