The projector streams recipes, video calls or workout guidance, adjusting keystone and brightness in real time. Samsung tied Ballie into SmartThings so it can display security feeds when sensors trigger.

New multi-room mapping lets Ballie maintain awareness across split-level homes without QR codes. Voice commands now route through a local LLM that keeps sensitive prompts offline while syncing preferences across Galaxy devices.

Samsung is bundling Ballie with security and energy monitoring subscriptions. Early customers in Seoul say the projection upgrade reduces the need for dedicated smart displays in small apartments.
