P-ISM is a "pen-style personal networking gadget" created in 2012 by Japanese company NEC. It consists of 5 functions - a CPU pen, communication pen, visual output projector, virtual keyboard, and camera. The CPU pen acts as the computing engine and uses a dual core processor. The communication pen connects to the internet via cellular networks and Bluetooth. It projects an A4 sized 1024x768 display and uses laser beams to generate a virtual keyboard. The camera allows for video calls. The entire device is portable and powered by a long lasting battery. While innovative, it also has drawbacks like cost and unproven keyboard positioning.
