PhotoBeamer Mirrors your Camera Roll to the Big Screen

Now that's how you display photos!

A couple days ago, we told you all about Facebook's rather weak photo-sharing app, Camera. But what if you're looking for a decidedly more local solution to share your pics? Scalado, a Swedish imaging company with its technology already available in over half-a-billion phone cameras, has just released it's first iOS app, PhotoBeamer. While you'll find no bells and whistles, it is quite possibly the easiest way to mirror image from your iOS device to a larger screen.

PhotoBeamer can display an image from your iOS device's camera roll on any display with a web browser. After choosing an initial photo, the app starts looking for a QR code. You'll find that code on the front page of Scalado's associated website. The image you initially selected quickly appears on the display and swiping through the Camera Roll changes the image in turn.

After playing with the app for a night, we found PhotoBeamer to work solidly. Latency between the iOS device and the browser-based image was almost non-existent and the interface is extremely simple to use from the outset.
