transparent

Remember that see-through lap top that was spotted at CES at the start of this year?

Well, it seems that those hi-tech sci-fi films and scenes in the likes of CSI, could well be coming to a laptop near you!

Of course, the Samsung transparent screen concept is incredibly cool but honestly; when tapping away at your puter do you ever long to stare at the wall or at the cat that’s sleeping behind your screen?

The concept would be great for head-up displays (HUD’s) in cars or motorcycle helmet visors but on a regular puter?

I guess if they can make huuuuuuuuuge screens that can form a part of meeting rooms, etc then that would also be very cool!

Still, saying that, I hope Sammy goes ahead with building some and lets me have a go and perhaps try and convince me of the merits ;)

Transparent AMOLED Laptop – Its See-Through!

by Jay Garrett on January 7, 2010

Gizmodo were padding through CES and they managed to spot this see-through laptop – don’t ask me how they saw an invisible puter; I guess they’re good at that kinda thing.

Sadly this is just a working concept with quite a pixely display but hey, it has a clear AMOLED screen!!!

Imagine if the keyboard was invisible as well, you know, using a second touchscreen like the main one. A fully transparent puter (apart from all the wires, chips, etc)!

Anyhooo…..

You can see right through the screen until something appears then it’s back to normalish.

This, my friends, is what 2010 is supposed to be bringing! It’s the future!

Mobile Phones Blocked on UK Trains

October 27, 2008 Click to read more →

This is great!
I see the point of having a mobile signal on the tube, on planes and trains but there’s so many people that’s going to abuse this.
A commuter rail company here in the UK (C2C) will install cellphone signal-blocking film on train windows in order to keep the peace.
The film, which was developed in [...]

See Through Dual Touch Display

Just check this out.
Take the idea of the iPhone-style touch navigation and then times that by two.
This totally cool dual-sided transparent touch display from Teraokaseiko is definitely on the right track.
Perhaps someday it will develop beyond wicked games of, Naughts and Crosses, Battleship and Connect 4.
At the moment it’s just a monochrome 256 x 120 [...]
