Very few things sounds more futuristic than a touch screen projector. Though there are a lot of them, not all of them work as well as advertised. But Hachi Infinite M1 is different. It works exactly how you would expect it to work and it is amazing.
The device runs Android 9 with a custom skin named Infinite OS. As it is Android, you have a wide range to apps to install and use. The device illuminates a desk or the wall, allowing you to play a game or check email and then quickly reorient it to watch a movie when you desire. The device also automatically calibrate the brightness of the projection depending on the lighting of the room.

There is still a bit of limitation. The touchscreen doesn't work when you block the light while using it. YouTuber Marques Brownlee made a video about the device discussing its limitations and also called it the best smart projector he has ever used. So you can check the device out in his video here.
The projector has Snapdragon 670 inside with upto 6GB RAM. It has 128GB storage. It has a built-in battery. The display is 720p, which isn't much great. You can use this projector and basically turn any surface into a working futuristic Android Tablet.
You can play multiplayer games one it too where it is Tic Tak Toe, air hockey, pong any of them. Playing air hockey in a projecting surface is more fun and futuristic than it sounds. There is a built-in HDMI port. It perhaps offers up a new way to enjoy your upcoming PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.
