We are used to seeing projectors like this in more of a public installation, but LUMO tries to bring the magic of a kid’s playground into your home. Check out this camera equipped projector which makes it possible to transform parts of your room into an interactive play space for kids.

When it comes out in 2014, LUMO will be a consumer device that combines a compact computer, camera and projector all within a self-contained unit that will be released with 12 games. Their early prototype shows a projector at around 200-lumens, bright enough to light up parts of a room with the lights off. Looks like they even have some tools to help kids create games:

LUMO will be going for $500 and if you want to get your hands on an early version, head over to the Kickstarter page to sign up for the pre-release version at $475. With games like virtual Smash Stuff! and Soccer, I’m sure parents at home are going to have a piece of mind knowing kids won’t be actually smashing furniture.
