In May 2025, AURZEN unveiled its groundbreaking ZIP triple-fold projector at the Osaka Expo in Japan. Paired with portable power solutions from brands like Delan Minghai and Sunwoda, the ZIP offered a compelling vision for outdoor lifestyle setups. This eye-catching debut not only highlighted the ZIP’s potential to break free from traditional projection norms but also sparked a fresh wave of imagination about how smart hardware can seamlessly blend into daily life. From casual entertainment to creative presentations, the ZIP proves to be more than just a projector—it’s a catalyst for a lighter, freer, and more creative way of living.
International Recognition for Breakthrough Design
From the moment it was introduced, the AURZEN ZIP gained significant attention on the global stage for its revolutionary design. It has earned multiple top-tier international awards, establishing itself as a standout example of cutting-edge technology fused with forward-thinking design.
At CES, the world’s premier consumer electronics show, ZIP won the CES Innovation Award for its unique triple-fold design and versatile features—an acknowledgment of its technological excellence. It also took home the Platinum Prize at the prestigious A’Design Award & Competition (often called the “Oscars” of the design world) and the highest Platinum honor at the MUSE Design Awards, further affirming its status in the industrial design space.
Acclaimed by International Media
ZIP’s influence extends beyond the design world. Major media outlets have praised the device for its innovation and utility. USA Today included it in its list of Top Picks, Tom’s Guide honored it with a 2025 MWC Award, and Android Central named it “Best of MWC.” These accolades have propelled ZIP into the global spotlight, making it a highly sought-after product among tech enthusiasts and industry insiders alike.
A Structural Revolution in Portability
What truly sets the AURZEN ZIP apart is its revolutionary approach to product structure and portability. As the world’s first triple-fold projector, it tackles the long-standing challenge of portability in projection devices. The projector compresses down to just 26mm in thickness—roughly the size of a sticky note—delivering true pocket-sized projection capabilities. This breakthrough in engineering enables users to enjoy projection anywhere, without the usual limitations of bulky hardware.
Packed with Cutting-Edge Technology
Under its ultra-compact frame, the ZIP is packed with advanced features. The first fold houses the world’s thinnest 8mm HD optical engine and a mini DLP chipset, ensuring crisp, vivid visuals. The second fold integrates dual high-carbon steel hinges for adjustable projection angles and includes ultra-thin stereo speakers for an immersive audio experience. The third fold features a built-in high-capacity battery, anti-slip base, and support for PD fast charging—allowing projection without a power cable.
Additionally, the ZIP incorporates ToF (Time-of-Flight) zero-latency autofocus, a technology widely used in aerospace and robotics. It enables near-instantaneous focus and keystone correction, ensuring a clear and properly aligned image in less than a second.
A Forward-Thinking Product for the Smart Era
As the global smart device market continues to evolve, consumer expectations have shifted beyond basic functionality toward innovation, portability, and multi-functionality. The AURZEN ZIP arrives at the perfect time, reflecting these modern demands and positioning itself as a leader in the next generation of smart projectors.
