Promera is a hand held computer and projector. It can collect still and full- motion video through it's camera lens, display and send computer related information though it's wireless components. Still images, video and computer-related information can be viewed on the hand-held computer's liquid crystal display (LCD). They can also be viewed by projecting them back through the camera lens. This product addresses key problems relating to documentation, troubleshooting, and
information access. For example, a person can document a home improvement or computer hardware problem by taking a photo or video. Then they can project the imagery back out in front of a specialist. The computer's wireless technology allows for complete internet searching and viewing (by small LCD or large-scale projection) in a device that fits comfortably in a person's pocket. This would be very useful for on the move medical diagnosis, navigation, maintenance and a host of other activities requiring quick and easy information access. Designers
