闭上眼睛，想一想投影机。您的脑海中可能会出现与我相同的图像。一种长方体形的设备，颜色为黑色或白色，悬挂在天花板上，并且在其一个侧面上有一个大透镜。可以肯定地说，几乎所有投影机的外观都几乎相同。他们的目的不是要看起来好。它位于背景中，同时您将注意力集中在正在投射的图像上。有些人会认为投影仪本身就不错，而其他人可能会说这是一个需要彻底审视的类别。 Yash Gupte（以他的互联网绰号Wacko Designs而著称）认为自己是第二批人的一部分。

Close your eyes for a second and think of a projector. Chances are you’ve got the same image in your head as I do. A cuboid-shaped device that’s either black or white in color, suspended from the ceiling, and with a massive lens on one of its faces. It’s safe to say that almost all projectors are designed to look practically the same way. Their purpose isn’t to look good. It’s to sit in the background, while you focus your attention on the image it’s casting. Some would argue that projectors are fine as they are, while others would probably say it’s a category that needs a radical relook. Yash Gupte (better known as his internet moniker Wacko Designs) considers himself to be a part of the second set of people.

Swivel是Gupte对投影机停滞的设计语言的解答。它消除了投影仪需要为矩形的想法，并带有一个独特的倒U形框架，框架内装有一个圆形设备。旋转名称来自主投影机单元的旋转动作。设计成可以指向任意角度（因此您可以将其用作长投影仪或短投影仪），旋转细节使您可以轻松地将投影仪调整为面向前，向下或向上，最大旋转自由度为160°。投影机背面的圆形通风孔有助于散热，而正面的一个旋钮（位于框架的底部）可让您切换投影机的功能并调整其设置。为了使这个本已令人兴奋的概念变得更加有趣，Swivel可无线运行（这意味着您无需担心HDMI电缆和交叉兼容性），并且小巧/纤巧，可容纳int背包，因此您可以随身携带它一个朋友的电影或游戏之夜的房子！

The Swivel is Gupte’s answer to the stagnated design language of projectors. It ditches the notion that projectors need to be rectangular, and comes with a unique inverted U-shaped frame, within which sits a circular device. The name Swivel comes from the swiveling action of the main projector unit. Designed to be pointed at any angle (so you could use it as a long-throw or a short-throw projector), the swiveling detail lets you easily adjust the projector to face forwards, downwards, or upwards, with rotational freedom of up to 160°. Circular vents on the back of the projector help with heat-dissipation, while a single knob on the front (in the bottom corner of the frame) lets you toggle through the projector’s functions and tweak its settings. To make this already exciting concept even more fun, the Swivel runs wirelessly (which means you don’t need to worry about HDMI cables and cross-compatibility) and is small/slim enough to fit int backpacks, so you could carry it around to a friend’s house for a movie or game night!
