Don't we get video's like these every year? Seen plenty of these. And they are all the same.
I want a stretchy phone thing like that. Too bad it's impossible to create matter out of thin air like that with our technology
One can only dream.
Some of those ideas aren't very good, and the ones that are will probably cost an arm and a leg to have. Besides I wouldn't worry about screens, we need to invent flying cars, hoverboards and food hydrators if we're not gonna make Back to the Future look wrong.
We already have touch displays that float freely in midair, this cannot impress me in any way.
I can see some of this stuff possible in mainstream use, unlikely in 2014 (though you never know) but yeah. However if it'll look exactly like that then I'll hate it as it's so simplified and dumbed down to the max that it'll be extremely inconvenient, uncomfortable and annoying. Put on a desktop on that shit rather than floating icons ala Iphone or PS3 and take use of some real keyboards and mouses rather than Apple shit then we're talking.
The iPhone and iPad did pretty well on dumbing everything down to that level.
Stretching the screen looks fucking awesome but I don't say 4 years will be enough to find out how to do it.

[QUOTE=PopLot;25089037]We can probably pull it off, it just won't be that seamless.[/QUOTE] I was thinking the same ratio of the screen on the back of the screen and you slide it out and it clicks, probably means you'll be carrying around a cube for the day but aye. Bigger screen.
This kind of tecnology will maby come, but it will be waay to expensive for regular use
I was expecting something like 3840x2160 monitors.
Might just happen, easy by 2020. Remember, it takes a decade to get amazing new tech from the oven to global markets. So companies like Apple and MS can easy make concept videos and hit their targets, they already have the prototypes ready, and MS's "2019" video was way more advanced than this one.
well, they are looking into plastics that can "recognize a shape" so when a current is applied to it it returns back to whatever shape it was pre programed to be. and they have also developed transistor plastics, combine the two and you have moldable and deformable chips which you could maybe attach a thin lcd screen with the same idea behind it. just add on an extra 60 years and that could maybe work.
We were supposed to have flying cars 10 years ago.
i would outfit my entire house with that stuff. but if it was mac only, i would rage. i want to play TF2 on my mirror!
OLEDs are the future.

It looks very cool but I think it's kind of pointless
Is it weird that after using Reason 4.0 I've noticed about 5 commercials or infomercials with a dr. rex loop
What's with the shitty notebook keyboard? [editline]08:56PM[/editline] Oh, apparently it's an Apple keyboard. :downs:
It's still touchscreen. Something Awful was right, we suck at this.
I know Nokia was working on bendable/foldable screens since like 2005. I dunno about stretching it though.
This is so not going got happen, not unless we all want to multitask while doing simple things.
It's not as wrong as this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu0ztxdsFis[/media] Some of the stuff he says is just weird. Even some of the things that already happened aren't exactly right.
4 more years until it's creation, 15 more years until it's remotely affordable.

The transparent monitor is horrible, I don't want you looking at all my shit.
Transparent monitor sure is horrible, I can't imagine working while seeing my wall in the background.
Transparent screens will allow for decent Augmented reality in the future
