wow stop talking
[QUOTE=CaptainQuirk;29205939]I've always called it ay-suh-ss[/QUOTE]
ikr. I found that out today when I saw an ad on YouTube. Otherwise, I can't wait for this technology. It does seem more of a general concept rather than anywhere near a prototype.
The correct pronunciation is "ah-soos".
[QUOTE=xboomguy;29234389]The correct pronunciation is "ah-soos".[/QUOTE]
That's how I've heard it pronounced in official Asus videos, and that's how I pronounce it.
And I thought [url=http://www.pomegranatephone.com/]the pomegranate phone[/url] would be the most unlikely thing this year :(
Dawwww, Asus bought a copy of Adobe After Effects.
I highly doubt there's anyone at the company working on this...
The material would have to be some mixture of [url=http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel]aerogel[/url] (for compressibility, also not aerogel specificly but just a material with those characteristics) and a ferrofluid with an extremely specific magnetic field, or a material with a memory (cfr. glass that becomes see-through based on the current flowing through it). Materials that change shape with heat wouldn't work...
After we've found such a material, we then still need to find a way to make it change colour in numerous tiny spots, though that might be a little possible (cfr. phosphorous layer in old TV's, or you need to find a way to change the internal circuitry if you want to do it like an LCD or OLED)

I can shave and make coffee with the name device! How can it not be the best thing ever?

I think it would be cool if they had free monitors all over the place, and you basically carried your computer around with you. You just plug in your computer to the monitor or whatever, and that seems more feasible than a screen that changes sizes. Kinda like that cell phone ad where he plugs it into his laptop.
If they claim that this will be available in the year 2015, then they must have already developed holograms and are just holding out on us.

Do you even want to know how much energy that would take in the first place?
[QUOTE=wraithcat;29269966]Do you even want to know how much energy that would take in the first place?[/QUOTE]
I know it is tremendous amount of energy, but I am just saying that it could be possible and didn't have to break the law of conservation of mass.
[QUOTE=Kidd;29205402]Damn it looked fake when she stretched it out. lol Would be cool though.[/QUOTE]
Hard as tits to motion track something that visually speaking doesn't exist. I.E. the surface of her finger that would connect to the device.
I don't know jack shit about this stuff, but some of it seems feasable.
Get a thick stretchable material that hardens when an electrical current is sent through it, adjusting the size would be as simple as extending an umbrella or antenna. The resolution would have to be the same for everything, and stretching the display would simply be the same as resizing a window. For seeing anything on it, just project something or have some kind of holographic display tucked in the rims so it bounces about through the rims. Hell, you wouldn't even need glass/elastic substance at that point. Depending on where certain lights stop you could detect where their finger is, etc.
Sure it wouldn't be as pretty, but it'd work. At least I think it would :\ idk
[QUOTE=snuwoods;29205361]since when have they invented holograms? this just seems like the jetsons or something.[/QUOTE]
We have had them for some time, where have you been
This is just a concept, it will never actually be released.
Somebody in the design department wasn't given an actual job, and was told "design something cool that we have none of the technology for, but looks cool".

~~law of conservation of mass~~
I can understand making handheld devices as powerful as modern computers, but why would we need something to replace projectors or TV screens in offices? Hell, even being assaulted by birds in the morning is excessive. I don't need a device projecting birds into my room to wake me up, nor do I need my schedule and home screen displayed on my ceiling.

All the technological advancements are made by scientists that are bought out by the Illuminati. They have all the technology. They choose what technology you're allowed to know about.
[QUOTE=krazipanda;29311169]~~law of conservation of mass~~[/QUOTE]
That is not the problem, as mass is simply a form of energy that can be converted into another form of energy. The problem here is that this conversion requires enormous amounts of energy.
[QUOTE=CaptainQuirk;29205939]I've always called it ay-suh-ss[/QUOTE]
Really I just called it Asus. Man have I been doing it wrong.

Yeah, if they had that much power though, you would get some great battery life.
Looks expensive...
