You’ll probably be surprised to know that the first combination projector/camera device was invented more than half a centry ago, known as the Wittnauer Zoom Cine-Twin. Designed by a jewelry maker, the device was mainly used as a camera, although one can always watch what was filed by pulling up the film arms and attaching it to the base. The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera that came with an integrated projector did wow the masses a few weeks back when it was first released, but this isn’t the first time such a combination was released.

Powered by D batteries, this was clearly state of the art back in 1957.
