Smartphones with built-in projectors — well, just the two from Samsung, really — haven’t exactly been a huge hit so far, but Lenovo thinks it’s finally got the right use case for this combination: beaming a touchscreen or virtual keyboard onto your desk. Announced at the Lenovo Tech World conference today is the Smart Cast, the world’s first smartphone with an integrated focus-free laser projector, as opposed to the DLP tech on existing pico projectors. In addition to the usual wall projection mode, there’s a “surface mode” that requires twisting the projector cap at the top (to enable reflection), propping up the phone with its kickstand, and then you’ll have a projected touchscreen — be it a virtual piano, a virtual keyboard or even Fruit Ninja — right in front of you. Alas, that’s all the info we’ve got so far, but you can check out the demo video after the break to stay entertained.
