I’ve seen my share of transparent phones or tablets till now, but
each new one still surprises me. An example is the slate created by Thomas
Laenner, who imagined a futuristic tablet with a transparent display and
augmented reality features. Mind you that we had no description to go with
these images, so I had to interpret them and draw the conclusions.
For one thing there’s no famous OS in action here,
although the simplistic nature of the interface used on the transparent tablet
makes me think of Nokia and MeeGo somehow… This looks like a business tablet,
one that’s ideal to use on a construction site, when an engineer is up on top
on a hill and watching where the future building will be built, using augmented
reality tech. Seeing that these images show me that the display is simply a
sheet of glass, I Imagine that components such as memory, CPU and camera and
integrated into the metallic frames keeping the glass in place.
I’m sure that gesture control is involved here,
aside from the big touchscreen that’s available. A nifty aspect is that you can
take apart the screen part and the two metal frames and store them separately,
so you can carry the device more easily when you travel. I guess that you can
also attach those metallic parts to other gadgets and the glass display as
well… Simplistic design and minimalism are the key factors here, in building a
futuristic tablet.
