SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION

 

We've never met a person who hates movies. Movies are for everyone. At their heart, movies are meant to be projected and enjoyed.

We would like to propose a lifestyle in which everyone can easily enjoy the real thing.

All design proceeded from this point. The design of this product was born on the basis of reconceptualizing the spatial and temporal relationships between people and things.

For this reason, we looked to turn movie appreciation into something special. At the same time, design was premised on the idea of fitting in with one's lifestyle when the product is not in use.

 

 

A projector with built-in DVD player and speakers.

Because the DVD player and speakers are built in, one need only connect a single power cable to enjoy movies on the big screen.

Its integrated design also obviates the need for complex connections among devices, as well having to run cables all over the room in which the product is used.

The product uses speakers and a DVD player manufactured by Japan Victor, so that sound and picture quality are on a par with those of standalone units.

This combination adds up to a finished product employing realistic picture (Epson) and sound (Victor), so that anyone can use whenever they want. It offers the user the full-fledged projector experience when enjoying movies.
