A compact and portable projector made for in bed content viewing experiences
LAY-Z PROJECTOR
THE MOST COMFORTABLE CONTENT-VIEWING EXPERIENCE
Designed to reduce neck and posture strain caused by looking down at screens, this fully adjustable projector offers a more comfortable way to enjoy media from your bed. With smooth vertical movement and 360° angle adjustability, it adapts to your ideal viewing position. When not in use, it folds flat for effortless storage—making it as practical as it is comfortable.
OPTIMIZED FOR UNWINDING
Traditional setups for watching content in bed are often uncomfortable—awkward angles, bulky equipment, and no true hands-free experience. As more people unwind with media before sleep, the need for ergonomic, upward-facing viewing is growing. With most ceilings acting as natural projection surfaces, this solution offers a simple, effective way to enhance comfort and accessibility.
DESIGN PROCESS
EXPLORING FORM, FUNCTION AND USABILITY
The early design exploration focused on creating compact, easily adjustable projector concepts optimized for hands-free, in-bed use. The sketches prioritize soft, approachable forms that invite comfort while balancing functionality and mechanical movement. Various mechanisms for angle adjustment, height variation, and collapsibility were tested to ensure both ergonomic support and space-saving convenience.
PROTOTYPING AND USABILITY TESTING—
Following the established design goals—portability, compatibility with both wall and ceiling projection at any angle or height, and compact storage—three distinct concepts were developed. Each was evaluated for stability, ease of adjustment, and overall user intuitiveness to ensure a seamless and ergonomic viewing experience.
