Every Friday is Family Night, and this 3M™ Mobile Projector is
going to be a regular part of our Friday nights from now on. This past
Friday, I was at my sister’s house working on her laundry room re-do.
While I was working I hooked up the 3M Projector to my iPhone and put it
on the dresser in the guest room. The 3M Projector can be plugged into
an outlet for power but it also holds up to a two-hour charge.
We have so many plans for it! We have a big party planned for the
neighborhood soon. And we used it in our bedroom when one of our kids
wasn't feeling well. He was quarantined so he watched a movie on our
wall. But the idea I am sharing today is a homemade drive-in movie
theater!
But before the 3M Mobile Projector made its way to the Father and
Son camp-out we played around with it at home. We projected it off of
our walls and our ceilings, which was incredible. We have high ceilings
and the detail and color of the picture was great! We were able to
gather around and laugh at funny YouTube videos rather than have all
five of our heads squished together around the small iPad screen.
So we (meaning me!) nixed that idea and instead got creative. We
bought a movie through iTunes and projected it onto our basement wall
and created a little movie theater for the kids, and they loved it.
(They loved it not only for the novelty of it, but also because I've
been in strong no-TV-mode for the last few weeks and they were having
major screen-time pangs.
When it arrived, the kids and I all had our own ideas on how to
use it. In fairness, we decided try it together as a family. We grabbed
some snacks and gathered in the boys' room to watch a photo slideshow of
our recent Disney vacation. It was a really fun way to view our
vacation photos on the "big screen." The kids were so excited when they
realized now they can watch movies anywhere, even outside.
But all that has changed with the new 3M™ Mobile Projector. It's a
small mobile projector that allows big-screen viewing of your content
just about anywhere. It projects onto walls, ceilings, anything you can
turn into a big screen. You can watch YouTube videos, slideshow photos,
TV content and movies via iTunes. I can't wait to use it all summer long
for slumber parties and outdoor campouts. The kids can all get in their
sleeping bags and I can project a movie right on the side of our house.
We have an outdoor movie party every year at the end of summer.
We provide every kind of topping you can imagine and our guests bring
their favorite kinds of ice cream.
In the past we've borrowed a projector, but now we have the 3M™ Mobile
Projector!
It's small and portable and hooks up to an iTouch, iPod, iPad or even my
laptop -- amazing!
This fun gadget is going to be getting a lot of use.
Movie-theater-themed parties, photo slide shows for birthdays, keeping
the kids entertained before bedtime while the adults have a game night.
And because the projector is completely portable and can be charged
ahead of time, I am not limited to having these fun activities inside my
home where an outlet is available. I could even take it camping and
watch a movie on my tent wall! Now that is my kind of camping! It is
like having my own mobile movie theater.
Wow! That was so much fun! We need to do that again.
Those are the things we were saying at the end of the night last night.
We had just finished enjoying an entirely new experience. We watched a
movie on a huge screen in our own backyard.
I think we may need a bigger treehouse. Or perhaps it's just
right, nice and cozy, where everyone is touching at least 2 other
people, or more, if that person's name happens to be momma. I put
Drummer to bed, Ryan whipped up a big plate of chocolate pancakes to be
eaten without fork OR plate, and we shooed the baby dills up the tree
with pillow and blanket where a movie projected on a pillowcase was
waiting for them: Treehouse Movie Night
When my husband heard that we were getting a 3M™ Mobile Projector
for our movie night he was impressed. But when I let him get it out of
the box and set it up, he was like a kid in a candy store. He kept
saying "This is really cool, this is so cool." (Boys and technology!)
But it is a really cool gadget (the whole room was pretty impressed).
My boys are so excited to use our 3M Mobile Projector this
summer! Camping, slumber parties, and family movie nights just became
that much more fun. If your kiddos (or husband, ahem) are into gaming,
the projector will connect to DVD and gaming consoles with an additional
3M Composite Cable. With the right cable, you can also project angry
birds from your phone right onto your wall! Keep it in mind for Father's
Day, ladies.
Do you ever find a product that just takes you to another time
and place the minute you use it? Where just turning it on brings a wave
of nostalgia and gives you warm and fuzzy feelings? The 3M™ mobile
projector did that for me! I may have squealed when I opened it, and
again when I started it up. It just takes me back to days where people
would sit around watching old home movies on a sheet hung on the living
room wall. Fun times!
As a mother and family person I am excited to be able to share
home movies, YouTube videos and slideshow photos with my family and
friends.My kids love LOVE being outside. The 3M mobile projector is
great for lazy summer movie watching while lying on the trampoline. We
simply projected the movie from our iPad onto the fence. It was a
neighborhood hit!
With the handy-dandy 3M projector we can now spread out on the
floor or couch and project our 14-inch computer screen onto a 40-inch
screen on the ceiling or wall. Come summer we will be using the side of
our house! Oh how nice
