A few ingenious Americans thought of devising a method to mirror video via Wi-Fi from an iPad 2 tablet to a monitor. You know that for the iPad 2 there are some accessories that allow video mirroring via HDMI to certain TVs, but everything is done using a certain cable that connects the 2 devices. The guys in the clip above devised a method to do this wireless video mirroring using an HDMI Wi-Fi transmitter and a battery to power it. They connected the tablet 2 to this HDMI transmitter and as you can see the TV displays the images from the tablet without any kind of lag.
The idea is interesting, but the way it was realized is quite complicated and not very aesthetic. For some, such an accessory would be ideal, especially for presentations, but probably a much better method must be found to mount the components in the case.
Basically, we were tasked with coming up with ideas that could help a client with their presentations. Sometimes they run Keynote Presentations on a Mac, and sometimes they run Keynote Presentations on an iPad using a VGA adapter. While I liked how mobile you could get doing it off an iPad, you're still literally tethered by the cable running to the A/V equipment. I knew there had to be some sort of solution, but sadly there wasn't, at least not all in one place. So I started looking at combining different solutions, and luckily, not many were needed. The core components are the wireless HDMI transmitter, and a USB battery pack
Oh, and of course the iPad 2…
Everything is very rough, especially the housing. This all came together very quickly, and we're still working everything out. I just wanted to show you guys, because I know some of you are looking for similar solutions. I'm going to try and get an Instructable together once we get everything a little more finished. Maybe even try some other things, like a belt pack for those that don't want the added bulk in their hands, or what ever other ideas our tiny little heads can think of
