Anker's new portable projector has can-do attitude. Because it's a can

The first tin can was invented by Frenchman Philippe de Girard, and patented in 1810. But now, 207 years later, canned goods have reached their pinnacle: cinema in a can.

Called the 'Nebula Capsule', and currently being funded on Indiegogo, this piece of kit is a 12cm tall projector that can output a 854x480 resolution image - although with recorded brightness of only 100 lumens, you'll probably need to turn off a lot of lights to get the full experience.

Sound-wise, it acts as a 5W 360-degree speaker with Bluetooth 4.0 support - so you can stream your music to it (and hopefully it won't sound too tinny! Do you see what we did there?)

So far the Nebula Capsule has raised $256,563 - over 500 percent of its intended goal. You can back it now for $269 (approximately £200) plus shipping.
