I honestly think that people that invent these things think that cyclists are an easy bunch to get to part with their cash. Unfortunately in some cases they succeed. Thankfully most don't and hair brained ideas like this die a death.

Now if it had a device to lift the leg of the cyclist up and over the projector as the cyclist mounted and dismounted, I think he could be on to something.
Maybe not.

But ... but ... it increases safety! How can you be so cynical? I bet you are unkind to kittens too.

I think it's kind of cool. In a pointless kind of way. Not that I would actually pay money for it.

I have always thought the gear indicator on bicycles to be a useless cyclist invention, but it turns out some people use them, the invention in the link may grab some people but not me,

Looks great until you fall off and break your spine on the projector mounted to your rear.

I saw plenty of useless inventions at the cycle show.
- A back light that flashes the speed of the following vehicle - So that's not at all DISTRACTING is it.
- An air compressor unit you fit to your bike so you always have an endless supply - just get a pump or some mini canisters.
Insane.

What an awful, awful idea. Again, does an arrow at your back mean I am turning or You may pass me? It's confusing, distracting and dangerous.

As far as usefulness is concerned it's a big pile of poo, but it's a rather lovely looking thing.

However..............I knew it reminded me of something!!

I'm a little scared now

I actually quite like it, in a strange kind of way.

Now, if you had the option to project the words "nobber" and "yes, you in the Audi" onto your back, then it would be brilliant when filtering at traffic lights etc.

Cyclee.....no videos to be found and I cannot find a price.

Useless for safety but maybe I can get Aldi to pay me a fortune for projecting their logo on my back as I ride.

i think it looks awesome. i mean change the design maybe have like a boba fett head on your back or a deathstar cos lets face it drivers will not be looking at your back.

So we're expected to have lights, hi-viz, reflectors, a foam hat, and now a gadget to show a sign on your back as the peanut behind you thinks 'get out of my way you farking cyclist'.
It's not our visibility that's the problem, it's the attitude people have towards us!
