This Conceptual Minion Projector Brings a Friendly Face to Streaming

— October 27, 2020 — Tech
Projectors are often characterized by their utilitarian design, but this conceptual Minion projector takes things in a decidedly different direction for users to appreciate. The projector draws design inspiration from the look and shape of the namesake Minions characters from the Despicable Me movie franchise, and utilize the cycloptic style of the character to anthropomorphize the technology product. This sees the projector lens transformed into an eye for the little yellow character and help to make the system more appealing for youngsters or families to keep in their space.

The conceptual Minion projector is the design work of Jerry C, Season Jia and Bowen Yang, and could help to make the advanced technology product suitable for use in bedrooms or play areas.
