It’s time to grab your AAXA Technologies Projectors and watch some Christmas movies. Here are our picks for Christmas movies.

Elf

This Will Ferrill movie has become a classic. It follows Will Ferrill, who was raised by elves, as he finds his true father. Along the way he spreads Christmas Joy to all. Elf is a family friendly movie that will become a yearly viewing experience.

Streaming on Hulu Live TV, FuboTV, and Sling TV

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

What could go wrong when having a traditional family Christmas? Chevy Chase answers this question in this hilarious Christmas film. Watch Clark Griswold pick “the Griswold Family Christmas Tree”, deck the halls with an unhealthy amount of Christmas lights, and watch as everything falls apart. This PG-13 movie will make you appreciate your family. 

Streaming on HBO Max

Available for rent on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, and Vudu.

A Christmas Story

We “triple dog dare you” to watch “A Christmas Story”. This 1983 movie focuses on 9 year old Ralphie’s desire to get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.  Several ridiculous shenanigans such as Leg Lamps, Bunny Costumes, and dares create a fantastic Family Christmas comedy.  You will want a Red Ryder BB gun by the end of this movie.

Streaming on HBO Max.

Available for rent on Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play, YouTube, and Apple TV

For the best viewing experiences for these amazing movies we recommend using AAXA Mini, Pico, and Micro Projectors. In particular, projectors such as the AAXA P7, AAXA M7, and AAXA 4K1 will provide excellent viewing experiences.

We hope you Have a great Holiday season!

Projection mapping has been there for years and it is only getting better every year. In every neighborhood, there is always one household with a dazzling light show for holidays. By using a projector, you can easily transform your house into a magical castle. And better yet, sometimes you do not need a big projector – a small projector with a battery like the AAXA M7 could do the job just fine. Check out this How-To: Projection Mapping 101 tutorial video by VanOaks Props

Digital Decorations

Digital Decorations have gained popularity over the last few years. Companies like AtmosFX or Spectral Illusions offer a wide variety of special effects for holiday decorations. If you have been putting holographic ghosts and wraiths on your window every Halloween, consider projecting a Christmas tree, Santa Clause, or Elves for Christmas decorations!

Or if “window projection” is too mainstream and you are looking for something new and unique, try the Fake Fireplace Projection or Magical Christmas Village – they are magical!

Home Movie Time

Christmas is the perfect time for family and friends to gather around, have delicious food, and watch movies together. Why not celebrate this special time of the year with a bigger screen? Most projectors could achieve a big 100” – 150” screen within a humble throw distance.

XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector

BenQ HT3550 4K Home Theater Projector

Streaming Content Anywhere, Anytime

Are you traveling this Christmas? The good news is that nowadays, battery-powered projectors do not require a power source to operate, meaning that you can bring your portable project anywhere and watch movies anytime you want. A mini projector like the AAXA P6X weighs about just 2lbs and it fits easily into your backpack, and its battery can last up to 4 hours, which is more than sufficient for any long movies you want to watch on your next vacation to Hawaii.

How to Mirror Android Phones to a Projector

Micro Projector, , , , , ,

With the advancements in smartphone technologies, many users still face  common issues such as faster charging or being able to connect to an external monitor. More and more Android smartphone manufacturers are using the newest USB type C port technology. The advantages of the USB type C connection include faster charging time, the possibility to mirror phone screens to a large external display.

Here are a few steps to determine if your smartphone is USB-C ready.

Step 1 – Identify the type of connector available on your phone

Your smartphone should have USB-C, lightning port(for Apple), Mini USB (for older devices), or Micro US. Refer to the picture below for reference to what port your smartphone has. 

Step 2 – Check what port connection is available for your projector

You should see HDMI, VGA, and USB as standards for most projectors. To be able to do USB-C mirroring, you would need an USB-C port on your projector as well. If your projector does not have a USB-C port, you can still connect through HDMI. For that, you can use a USB-C to HDMI cable or USB-C to HDMI adapter cable like the two images below.

Step3- Choose your connection cable

Make sure you have an USB-C Cable and a projector that supports HDMI Alt Mode. Users should plug in the cable and choose the correct settings on the projector to display.

Please note that for Apple users, it would be best to use the Lightning to HDMI AV Adapter from Apple to connect your phone to the projectors. 

The table below are the Latest Android Phones that support USB Type-C DisplayPort Alt Mode. Check with the table below to see if your device is on the list.

Interactive Projector: Amazon Glow

Micro Projector, , , , ,

Amazon newest innovative tech is the Amazon Glow, an interactive  video-conferencing device with a built-in tabletop projector. The main goal is to allow kids to be interactive while communicating with friends and family across different locations. With the ability to project games, books, pictures, or puzzles, this allows the kids and parents(also grandparents) to play and talk together at the same time

The Amazon Glow comes with new features such as a shared display, showing what the kid sees and mirroring it on a remote iPad. Books, games, and some basic learning apps are different activities that the Amazon Glow can display. This is all connected to the Amazon’s Kids Plus ecosystem, a subscription based to connect the whole family. Parents will need to learn how to set up the Glow and teach their child the basics. Amazon targeted children between the ages of three through nine, so setting up age restriction contents might be important for many parents. The Amazon Glow projects a 8-inch screen for video chat and is able to project a 22 inches screen using the screen mat. At the moment, the Amazon Glow is not yet released, but has a retail price of $299.99 and is looking to release around mid-October 2021.
