Usage 3: Astronomy and science learning
🌟 Learn about constellations by projecting a starry sky onto the ceiling
Projecting a starry sky onto the ceiling using astronomy apps like Star Walk 2 can spark children's interest in constellations and space. It's an excellent science teaching tool, allowing you to learn while saying, "That star is Orion's Belt."
Star Walk 2 (Astronomy app)

Precautions when using a projector with children
- Viewing distance: At least screen size (inches) × 3cm
- Viewing time: Take breaks every 30-60 minutes
- Before bedtime: Set brightness to low to reduce blue light exposure
- Do not look directly at the lens: Instruct children not to look directly at the projector lens
Tip-over/fall prevention
Place the projector on a stable surface to prevent children from touching it and causing it to tip over or fall. We recommend placing it on a shelf out of reach or on a fixed stand.
Content selection
Models with Android TV can use Google Play's parental control features to restrict content children can watch. Set it so they can only view age-appropriate content.
