TCL recently announced its portable smart projector, Playcube, will integrate Google’s Gemini AI, merging portable large-screen technology with generative AI to evolve from a take-anywhere projector into an intelligent home entertainment hub.

Playcube offers 750 lumens of brightness, 1080p full HD resolution, utilizes a 0.33-inch DMD chip for image clarity, and a 66Wh battery for up to three hours of playback. The battery is quick-charging with a full charge in just thirty minutes. Its palm-sized cube with 360° rotation projects onto any surface and claims screen sizes up to 150-inches. Other features include Real-time Focus & Keystone, Auto Fit Screen, Auto Obstacle Avoidance and Auto Eye Protection. The Playcube also has Dolby Audio, Bluetooth Audio and Wi-Fi 5 onboard.

Combined with Immersive Color technology for lifelike visuals, Playcube brings users a flexible big-screen experience. Now, adding Gemini AI brings a suite of features letting users Ask, Learn, Brief and Create, with ease.

The new Ask mode lets you speak naturally and Playcube understands your intent and delivers recommendations. Ask “What happened in the last episode?” and an instant recap appears, pulling you right back into the story.

Through Learn, Gemini turns knowledge exploration into rich visuals. AI-generates diagrams and immersive images that fill walls and ceilings, transforming the big screen display area into a deep dive of topics of interest with narrated overviews.

Briefs curates existing content, from sports highlights to news summaries. Simply ask for the latest update on your favorite subject or team and clips fill the wall. Browse YouTube Shorts directly on the home screen for big-screen immersion.

In Create mode, describe a scene from your own imagination and Gemini AI instantly generates custom visuals projected onto any surface. With Veo video generation, bring photos to life: animate old photos, or display users’ art in vibrant full color.

Gemini AI experiences will roll out to TCL Playcube, starting today. TCL will continue working with Google to bring dynamic features to displays across the portfolio.
