CES may get more attention from gadget hounds and fans of PCs, but MacWorld gets lots of headlines and the attentions of Apple fans around the world. The two shows run around the same time and offer lots of new products to fans.

Microvision has announced that it will be showing its pre-production version of its pico projector dubbed SHOW WX at MacWorld. The new version is 25% smaller than the previous SHOW projector prototype according to Microvision.

Microvision, a light-scanning technology developer, is bringing to CES to showcase an advanced prototype of “the first handheld, battery-powered, plug-and-play projector based on the company’s single micro-mirror laser scanning display technology.” The company is calling this new pico projector for now the Show.

The Microvision Show is powered by the company’s proprietary “ultra-miniature PicoP display engine.” This technology will, according to Microvision, let you project a widescreen, WVGA (848 X 480 pixels), DVD quality image from the projector in a range anywhere from 12 inches (30 cm) to 100 inches (2.5 m) in size depending upon the projection distance.
