ViewSonic Brand New Portable RGB Laser Projector M10 Landed in Singapore
"Amid the flourishing home entertainment market, projectors have become a preferred choice that fits into today's varied lifestyle, offering larger and more flexible screens compared to TVs," said Dean Tsai, General Manager of Projector & LED Display Business Unit at ViewSonic. "To offer users greater flexibility in shaping their audiovisual spaces, we design a compact model with advanced RGB laser technology, like the M10. The M10's launch redefines the portable projector market, showcasing our unwavering commitment to innovation and product excellence."
Visual Brilliance in Compact Design with Pioneering RGB Laser Technology
Laser technology is commonly favored for projections requiring higher brightness. Conventional laser projectors emit a single blue laser beam towards the laser phosphor and color wheels, resulting in a limited color range. In contrast, RGB laser technology delivers three primary laser light rays - red, green, and blue, collectively covering a broader color gamut that meets the BT.2020 color standard. This surpasses the requirements of cinema-grade displays adhering to DCI-P3 – the industry standard for digital cinema – to achieve more vibrant and lifelike colors, making it often associated with large-scale cinematic projection.
ViewSonic takes RGB laser projection technology to the next level with M10's revolutionary design. It ingeniously integrates three primary laser light sources into a single module, allowing a more compact form factor than traditional RGB laser projectors. This innovation mitigates the trade-off between size and performance that truly sets it apart. Additionally, its 2,200 RGB Laser Lumens of brightness ensures clear and vibrant cinematic-level visuals, even under ambient lighting.
Automatic Setup for Effortless Usage
In addition to premium visual performance, the M10 features intelligent auto-setup functions for seamless usage. It adopts ToF technology which enables instant auto focus, ensuring sharp images within seconds after adjusting the projector's position. Its auto horizontal/vertical keystone allows users to enjoy a hands-free setup, achieving perfectly shaped images whether the projector is projecting from the side or even up onto the ceiling.
Beyond its auto-setup functions, this smart portable projector offers a range of versatile usage scenarios. It supports wireless screen mirroring for streaming movies or shows via Wi-Fi from mobile devices; directly connects to smartphones and tablets through a USB-C port; and facilitates ceiling projection without an additional tripod – perfect for those who enjoy a relaxing ambience while in bed. Furthermore, it functions as a Bluetooth speaker for outdoor parties with a high-quality built-in Harman Kardon speaker and can pair with headphones for personal entertainment all night long.

ViewSonic's Pioneering Portable RGB Laser Projector M10 Delivers Next-Gen Cinematic Brilliance Even in Daylight
LONDON, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- State of the art AI glasses to help people with dementia navigate their environment and a smartwatch that learns daily routines are among five groundbreaking technologies awarded £300,000 as a finalist in the £4.4m Longitude Prize on Dementia.
It is rewarding the creation of new assistive technologies that use AI to transform how people live with dementia after a diagnosis so that they can maintain their independence for as long as possible.
The global challenge prize is funded by Alzheimer's Society and Innovate UK and delivered by Challenge Works (part of Nesta).
One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime, with around a million people in the UK living with a form of dementia now. This is projected to rise to 1.4 million people by 2040.
The five finalists, who were announced today in the UK on BBC One's The One Show, will each receive £300,000 to develop their technologies in the next 15 months. The finalists are:
Dr James Brown, CEO of Supersense Technologies said: "A few years ago, I was volunteering with a charity supporting people who had just received a dementia diagnosis. At almost every house we visited there would be a drawer full of unused gadgets – fall-detection watches or pendants, AI speakers – great tech but clearly not being used by the people it was designed for.
"As an engineer and researcher with a decade of experience in developing sensor technology, I knew that there was far better, unintrusive technology that could help people with dementia or mild cognitive impairment to live safely in their own homes for longer, and to help families know that their loved one is safe and well. Our system is specifically designed to maintain a person's privacy and autonomy, while identifying new behavioural patterns as soon as they develop, so that loved ones or carers can provide support at the right time, all with the aim of helping people to stay independent in their homes for longer."
Kate Lee, CEO of Alzheimer's Society said: "Currently, around one million people in the UK live with dementia, a figure projected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. AI presents exciting opportunities to help those with dementia stay active and independent, enabling them to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. By harnessing the power of technology, we can support memory recall and assist individuals in maintaining their daily routines. The five finalists of the Longitude Prize on Dementia are tackling these challenges in innovative and diverse ways. I look forward to seeing how their technologies evolve over the next year."
Dr Jennifer Bute was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2009 at the age of 63, leading to her retiring early from her career as a GP. She adds: "Research suggests that remaining independent, whether in your own home or a place where extra help is available, is one of the best contributors to slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease. As a daily user of technology to help manage my finances, medications – even my home lighting – it's really encouraging to see the breadth of new tools and services being developed to support independent living."
Tris Dyson, Managing Director at Challenge Works said: "The Longitude Prize on Dementia was launched to help meet the urgent need for intuitive, AI technologies that could support independent living for people with dementia. Last year we saw some incredible ideas come through the 24 semi-finalist entries and it was a challenge for the judges to select the five finalists announced today. This announcement proves the critical role innovation, and challenge prizes, have to play in helping to solve some of the biggest challenges of our time."
Stella Peace, interim Executive Chair, Innovate UK said: "Dementia's impact is devastating for those who develop the condition and for their loved ones. There is much we can do to ensure that those with dementia continue to live fulfilling lives. Technology has a great role to play and the projects for which we have announced funding today have the potential to truly change lives for the better."
In addition to the financial reward, non-financial support has been funded to provide innovators with crucial insight and expertise until the end of 2025. The support includes access to potential product users, mentorship, and expert advice on technical and business aspects of the innovation to ensure products are scalable. It will also facilitate knowledge sharing between participants. All teams will be working with people with lived experience to ensure solutions are fully co-created.
In early 2026, one winner will receive a prize pot of £1 million, following a judging process with the international Judging Panel and Lived Experience Advisory Panel. For more information on the finalists and prize, please visit dementia.longitudeprize.org.
