I often code on the go, and I'm looking for a way to extend my screen space beyond that of my laptop when I'm in hotels etc.
I think what would suit me best would be a small projector that can project at a 90⁰ angle, ie. onto the surface that its underside is facing. This way, I could either place it on the table, and have it project onto the table in front of/behind itself, or place it on the floor under a wall and have it project onto the wall above itself.
Is anyone aware of something like this being produced?

I mean this in the kindest of ways, but is is “piqued” not “peaked”. Have a great day!
