    Quite possibly the geekiest invention I've ever seen--

    Ok, just thinking out loud here. So we set up an epson projector (or other applicable projector) in a road case, with a lap top and a minimal loud speaker system. Take that out into high traffic pedestrian areas to project video on to building walls. We then make a business out of selling other business on putting promo videos on our system. We make the promo videos for them, for a charge, then charge them for showing them around town.

    Ok, it needs refinement.... but hummmmm...

    Guerrilla marketing firms caught on to that a long time ago, it's actually pretty common.

    I've never seen it. I was hoping to when we had projections for a film festival recently during our monthly arts day, but I couldn't go. From what I understand big cities like New York get it a bit. I definitely think projectors outside have more potential than they're generally reaching. But you need a generator or a decent battery bank to run it well. I have no idea how it's done normally.

    I wonder what legal issues you might run into with something like that...

    But it's pretty cool.
