The MP160 is still a good option for those who want a compact way of throwing their show or game up on a bedroom wall (unless you like 16:9), and of course the more projectors 3M puts out, the cheaper the perfectly good old models get!
A device this small will have a limited resolution of course, the tiny projector will only display at 640×480.
The traditional lecture-based portion of the course used a projector screen and Microsoft Power Point to display images and key information related to the week's lab.
Regular projectors, of course, are big, heavy, expensive, sometimes noisy machines.
(Of course, he added, the projectors could be programmed to show anything at all; one of the projections in the drawings showed a scene featuring Miss Monroe in "All About Eve").

When I took the course they had a projector and they showed how everything was -- people climbing ladders that were the wrong size, people on scaffolds without harness.
Even so, these machines come with almost everything you need built in: except where noted, each comes with modem, Ethernet, brilliant 12.1-inch screen (1024 by 768 pixels), a 20-gigabyte hard drive, 128 megabytes of RAM, tiny stereo speakers, a full-size keyboard, U.S.B. jacks, a video-out jack for projectors and, of course, a CD-ROM drive.
I mainly know Optoma for their pico projectors, but of course they're into the bigger stuff as well.
The details of a two-day course appear on the overhead projector.
