Tell me if this sounds familiar: the minute you step into a movie hall, you wish you could game on such a vast screen. As a longtime casual gamer, I’m no exception, and I’ve always wondered what it would be like to play through cinematic storylines like The Last of Us on a canvas more immersive than my 43-inch television. Could mini projectors be the solution?
A few years back, outfitting my living room with a projector would have been unthinkable. Not only did these machines used to be bulky and cumbersome to set up, requiring drilling a mount into the ceiling — which my landlord would never OK — but they were also expensive. Their image quality was poor and nearly unusable in the daytime. Besides, as my partner once pointed out, their boxy, plasticky design would’ve looked out of place in my modern bohemian apartment.
