Maptor is A Gadget That Combines Map and Projector

Some of you may have seen this already, but here’s a cool concept for those times when you just want to see a map, or when you want to point something out to someone without having to start at your smartphone screen or, God forbid, unfold a paper map…It’s called MAPTOR, and it’s a design concept from Jin-Sun Park and Seon-keun Park. Basically, you wear the MAPTOR projector on a lanyard or maybe even as a keychain or beltclip, and when you need to see your map, you press a button, and Presto! your map is projected onto whatever nearby surface is handy. Since it’s a concept only, it’s not available commercially, but I would love to have one…
