1. A container comprising:
- a hollow container body;
a first cavity in an exterior wall of the hollow container body, the first cavity having first contours;
a camera, attached to the exterior wall of said hollow container body in the first cavity, to generate pictures of objects external to the container, wherein the camera has a shape that conforms to the first contours of the first cavity;
a second cavity in the exterior wall of the hollow container body, the second cavity being larger than the first cavity;
a first projector, attached to the exterior wall of said hollow container body in the second cavity, to project the pictures generated by the camera onto a surface of a remote object external to the container; and
a second projector, attached to the exterior wall of said hollow container body in the second cavity, to project the pictures generated by the camera through a liquid contained by the hollow container body and onto an interior wall of the hollow container body, wherein at least of one of the first projector or the second projector has a connection to the camera and is to receive the pictures from the camera via the connection.

Abstract
A first cavity in an exterior wall of a hollow container body has first contours and a second cavity in the exterior wall of the hollow container body has second contours. A camera is disposed within the first cavity, the camera having a shape that conforms to the first contours of the first cavity. An electronic device comprising a display is disposed within the second cavity, the electronic device having a shape that conforms to the second contours of the second cavity. The camera is to generate pictures of objects external to the hollow container body, store the pictures in a memory, and provide the pictures to the electronic device. The electronic device has a connection to the camera and is to receive the pictures from the camera via the connection and to display the pictures that are received from the camera on the display.
