7 Ways to Enjoy “Me Time” at Home With a Portable Projector

When you’re trying to stay active at home, it’s a lot easier to follow exercise guide videos on a big screen. Small laptop screens or even TVs may force you to pause and look closely, but with a projector everything from kickboxing to Tabata regimens works better because you have a huge image to look at and follow. No more does being at home mean becoming overly inactive. 

By the same token, cooking and baking videos look much better on a big format. They’re also far easier to follow when every detail pops out and appears in large scale, reducing the likelihood of kitchen accidents and other unfortunate events. If you’re home might as well try out new recipes, and a portable projector fits very nicely in your kitchen, unlike a big screen TV. 

Also similar to general exercise routines, yoga benefits from being shown on a large display. Even if you’re upside down you can still get everything you need for your posture at a glance when it’s on a 100” or 200” screen. Not so much from a 6” smartphone display or even your TV. Additionally, portable projectors allow you to do yoga in any room or in a garden, it’s up to you. And since the screen is so visible, you can do group yoga with just one portable projector without having to crowd around a small display. 

Good portable projectors have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. With the latter, they double as standalone Bluetooth speakers that provide hours of battery life. Let stress wash over you, grab a book, and relax with your favorite tracks playing in the background. That’s versatility – portable projectors act as dedicated speakers with a very focused sound profile perfect for smaller spaces, as opposed to the washed-out audio you get from TV speakers. 

More time at home means an opportunity to chip away at your TV show backlog. With Wi-Fi, portable projectors connect to your home network and streaming apps. Plus, HDMI means you can plug in streaming boxes like Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast. In any case, getting Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ et al. to work on a portable projector is easy. Then all you have to do is kick back and binge-watch your favourite shows. Might as well – fun is one of the main points of being home, are we right? 

Beyond TV shows and movies, portable projectors offer an excellent canvass for YouTube videos. We already talked about cooking, exercise, yoga, and others. And we did mention cat memes. Come to think of it, there’s nothing wrong with cat videos. Or animal videos in general. YouTube is awash with them and they look great on a big screen. Never underestimate the power of a good animal video to bring about calm and good vibes. 

Portable projectors offer an excellent gateway to big-screen gaming. Whether casting from your phone or tablet with the latest mobile titles, or plugged via HDMI to your Xbox, PlayStation, or PC, portable projectors expand your view into the games you play. Every detail made big, every action more impressive. Engulf yourself with some quality gaming and the days will go by fast and happy. 

So there you have it. Those are just examples, we could come up with a lot more you can do to enhance your stay-at-home time with a portable projector, but we’ll leave that up to you. Just remember, portable projectors should be on your list of devices to have for enjoyable stays at home.
