Sorry it's in German. It's for a kit for a projector for a phone. I thought it might make a fun Christmas present but I don't want to spend that money on something that can't be used.

Has anyone ever seen one or tried one out?

Gnomon - time to move on

Speaking as someone who has built projectors, I don't think there would be enough light from the phone to project well so it would be more-or-less unusable. Nice idea though.

Yes - that's what I wondered. There is apparently a phone which does its own projecting nowadays:

So that cuts out the extra bit of kit.
