The Keecker ‘home pod’ is a mobile projector, speaker, and security system all rolled into one

Lebeau’s project is called Keecker, an egg-shaped device that scoots around your house and uses a built-in projector and speaker array to turn any wall into a wide screen for displaying your movies, games, or digital art.

It’s hard to imagine a mass market for Keecker, especially at the $3,000 to $4000 price point Lebeau is currently planning. They definitely need to come up with a better descriptor than "home pod." But what’s appealing about the device isn’t affordable utility, but how quirky and unique it is. Keecker is a stab at the futuristic robot butler we’ve all dreamed of having, a smart servant that makes your living space feel genuinely sci-fi.
