What is it?
An Android OS powered portable projector.
Streaming devices such as Amazon's Fire TV Stick have proved hugely popular for their ability to turn any television into a smart display. The trouble with these gadgets is their dependency on external displays to view the content from the device.
By projecting video, the Nebula Capsule eliminates the need for a middleman meaning you can stream content anywhere.
Good Points?
Unlike many portable projectors which favour flat designs, Nebula has opted for a cylindrical shape that's similar in size to a soft drink can. This elevates the lens allowing you get closer to a wall or projection screen while minimising its area footprint.
Its design also provides 360-degree audio output which is ideal for listening to music when placed in the centre of a room.
A built-in 100 lumen bulb projects up to a massive 100 inches (254cm) which is akin to a small cinema and ample for private viewings or corporate presentations.
Bad points?
It can be very difficult to add new apps as the traditional method of downloading new content through Google Store is absent.
The remote control is prone to lag and can get quite frustrating when it eventually kicks in and you realise you have overshot the item you were trying to navigate to.
Best for ...
Those who like to take their entertainment and big screen with them wherever they go.
Avoid if ...
You need a projector with perfect-picture resolution across a larger screen area as this device gets progressively blurry as it goes over 65in.
Score: 7/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
