<p>Okay, so it doesn&#8217;t actually fly, but it sure <em>looks</em> like a flying saucer, don&#8217;t you think? It even has little fold-out landing legs! (Actually, I think maybe it was separated at birth from <a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/pitdroid/index.html" target="_blank">this thing</a> from <em>Star Wars</em>. Or maybe one of those robots from <em>WALL-E</em>? But I digress.)</p>
<p>This is in reality the <a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/03/08/projecting-with-oo/" target="new">OO wireless projector</a> as imagined by designer David Riesenberg. The idea is that it&#8217;s the ultimate in projection simplicity, thanks to its sleek, circle-shaped design and its super-portability. It&#8217;s powered by an internal Li-Ion battery, allowing it to project for up to 3 hours straight, though it also has a built-in power cord.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at some specs. It&#8217;ll display high-def video or data at full 1080p resolution, it has its own internal SSD storage capacity, and it&#8217;s WiFi enabled so it can stream directly from your computer or any other WiFi source. Riesenberg recommends one use for the OO as an external or secondary display.</p>
<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-16629" title="oo2" src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/oo2.jpg" alt="oo2 Flying saucer projector" width="280" height="183" />As for controlling the device, what else would you expect from something so futuristic but a sexy touchscreen remote control? (And of course, the remote also looks like <em>it</em> could be a spaceship, too.) The whole package has enough exquisite curves and design cool factor to have <em>Steve Jobs</em> mopping up his own drool. All it needs now is the ability to hover.</p>
<p>Unfortunately it&#8217;s just a concept at the moment, so you may have to wait a while to get your hands on one. But something this gorgeous deserves to go into production.</p>
<p>Watch Riesenberg&#8217;s slick promotional video, and you might just think the darn thing has a <em>soul</em>&#8230;</p>
