or just call it a-suss.
We will see this technology one day, just not any time soon.
If all this was possible it [b]BETTER[/b] be fucking available in 2015, any later and I'll probably be to old to actually use it for much other than boring office work.
how the fuck will the screen stretch like that? Wouldn't that like break the law of conservation of mass or something?
Or if it's a really stretchy material or something, it'll require Asus to make some major innovations in the way screens and screen resolutions work.
This is too farfetched.
The guy at 4:30 has some pretty trippy hair.
2015? More like 2150.
Oh my god, this would be amazing if it was out.
It still won't be as expensive as the iPhone.
That is ugly.

It's not really a screen, it's like a piece of glass with a digitizer on it. All the graphics are supposed to be holographic

I say 5120, and I'm serious
We say shit like this is impossible, but the rate we're making scientific advancement these days, things like this could well be possible, we just don't know it yet.
How is it powered?
This is so fucking dumb, it's just another ''revolutionary'' concept like thousands others before it.
Remember the Nokia Morph?

Just one of many
Nokia Morph is more realistic than this.
This looks so fucking boring to be honest. I would never want to live a life like this, full of technical devices working out your everyday life. It's just too much man
I think they need to do some research on holograms...

And okay there might exist some materials with such behaviour, some elastic substance that hardens when electric current is applied, but that's still not anywhere near a glass plate which is able to produce an image when it's stretched/compressed...

the morph is still infinitely more plausible than the IRIS, every feature is explained and definitely possible (just expensive as fuck right now) while the IRIS is more "wouldn't it be cool if we could break the laws of physics"
Hope this shit exist when I'm 50.

The IRIS is every portable device concept ever made, same as the morph is
but the iris is also seemingly impossible and way the fuck out of reach, we've got the components to make the morph, just not the drive

I know the graphics are supposed to be holographic, but how would one add or remove mass to the piece of glass to change it's size? Especially when you want to take it from watch size to like 10" tablet size
What if its a brain implant that make you think your using a tablet instead of poking the air or shooing Imaginary birds.

you wouldn't make it glass, maybe some plastic that bends and is otherwise hidden inside the body. Which is only slightly less ridiculous.

That's true, but it only means that Nokia's concept team isn't as retarded as ASUS's. But that's not my point, my point was that there are so many of these concepts and they're all basically the same thing, this concept is horribly unoriginal.
[QUOTE=kimr120;29220184]Hope this shit exist when I'm 50.[/QUOTE]
Then I'll constantly be whining about it not working like I want it to, while telling all the young folk about the good old days where everyone had Nokia 3210's.
I don't see this coming out until about 2025, assuming the fat-cat corporations haven't destroyed all of our lives before then.
Considering the rate of technological advancement, I think we can expect this sooner than we may initially think after having seen the device's features. I just fear what impact something like this will have on the social aspects of human beings and to what extent we'll still be "normal."
Not anytime soon this will come out lol.

Eh. When you consider how far technology has advanced in the last... 20-30 years, I think you're overestimating a tad.

Actually it could work, because you could store matter as energy, then when the matter is needed have some process convert the energy into matter. They would need a tablet to do something that a super collider kinda does but look how far we have come with computers in 50 years.
