A software application designed for mobile devices, specifically intended to interface with and control projectors manufactured or branded by Brookstone. This application enables users to manage various projector functions directly from their smartphones or tablets, such as adjusting keystone, brightness, volume, and selecting input sources. For example, instead of using physical buttons on the projector itself, a user can utilize their phone to navigate the projector’s menu and settings.
Such applications offer enhanced convenience and accessibility. They remove the reliance on physical remote controls, which are easily misplaced or damaged. Historically, projector control relied solely on buttons located on the device itself or through infrared (IR) remote controls. Mobile applications represent a technological advancement, leveraging wireless connectivity like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to provide a more user-friendly and integrated experience. Benefits include streamlined operation, software updates delivered directly to the projector through the app (in some cases), and the potential for more advanced features not available on traditional remote controls.
