The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicks off in Las Vegas on Tuesday, and is expected to spotlight the latest in ultra high-definition television, connected home technology and every other manner of gadgetry.

At the same time, iPin - the world's smallest laser pointer and wireless presenter for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android has been launched. The kickstart project Hyper will be showcasing two new iPin Laser Pointer and Wireless Presenter products at the CES 2015.

The new iPin basically turns any Android device into a laser pointer and wireless presenter via micro USB. Basically, the iPin BT Bluetooth USB dongle allows any iOS/Android device to control presentations on any public computer with zero setup.

Smallest Laser Pointer to Hit Android and iOS Devices

New iPin Laser Presenter for Android

The all new iPin which has come to Android devices now, will basically work the same way that the previous iPin for iOS devices did. The iPin comes with a free app that can be downloaded from the Google Play store.

The app turns your normal Android device into a powerful laser pointer and wireless presenter. The free iPin app also allows you to transform your Android device into a fully featured presentation tool with intuitive gesture based controls to shift between presentation slides and also move the mouse pointer on any Mac or PC computer.

The new iPin brings an amazing feature to your device which is both useful and cool.

New BTtogo togo Bluetooth USB Dongle:

The all new BTtogo adds a whole new dimension to the convenience of the iPin. For example if you were to travel to another office or presenting at another site for that matter, WiFi connections cannot be judged reliable and there might even be firewalls.

BTtogo gives you a solution to this issue by allowing users to confidently connect their iPin enabled iOS or Android device to any comuter for a reliable presentation. BTtogo features a USB connector which plugs into any PC or Mac and connects the iPin enabled iOS or Android device via bluetooth with no host software whatsoever. Basically there is no setup required which makes it all the more user friendly. Users can store their presentations and files on a micro SD memory card which is inserted into BTtogo to run the presentation of any public computer.

HYPER is seeking $50,000 via Kickstarter to launch the 2 new iPin products. Funding begins January 5, 2015 at 8am PST/11am EST and ends on February 9, 2015. Upon successful funding, HYPER aims to ship the new iPin products in the same month of February 2015. This is HYPER's 4th Kickstarter project after the successful CloudFTP, iStick and Pearl which combined raised over $1.4 million.
