Question [Q] Attach Galaxy Nexus to projector

Hello everybody!
I an an Android app developer and I would like to attach my Galaxy Nexus to a projector (with VGA input unfortunately) in order to present my applications to other people when they are many. In this case I don't want to just start a presentation or show images, but I want the projector to reproduce what the screen is actually showing.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
I've seen that in USA it is possible to buy a micro-usb to VGA adapter that works with Galaxy Nexus, but it is not clear to me whether I'm able to see the screen or only media files. I think that a special app is needed to show the screen, do anyone know which one?

I would look at getting a projector with an HDMI, that way you can hook up and HDMI and I am not 100% sure, may want to search online, but I believe it has mirror mode doesn't it!

VGA is analog and HDMI is digital, to convert between one another you'll need to find a unit that looks like a small box and requires power. Don't be fooled by cables that have HDMI on one end and VGA on the other, these are for desktops that support sending VGA over HDMI which isn't common.

Assuming it has no HDMI port, does it have a DVI port. DVI is just the digital video carrier of HDMI so a cheap pin converter cable will work.
