Into the future!

Just watch this video! The future of multi-screen technology seems so fascinating!

Check out the video below which explains some of the technology used in above video!

If you still want more, check out this first video by Corning. Amazing how this advertisement is so captivating.


How I wish iPhone 5 looks just like the translucent mobile that is seen in this video!

By the way, those who are interested in the Electrochromic glass (the glass that can turn opaque and transparent at will), there is actually such a product by Samsung! Featured in the latest CES 2012, this Smart Window allows you to check twitter, recipes, flights, weather etc. Real cool stuff!

The multitouch panel featured in the video is also somewhat similar to Microsoft Surface.

Ok, the technology is still a bit far off from what is envisioned in the video. Nonetheless such surface may eventually be found in household in the future.

The seamless transfer of data between surfaces will be one of the main challenge. While Apple is actively trying to get you to buy into their entire ecosystem of Mac, iPad, TV, iPhone, Google is also doing the same with its Android, Google+ and suite of Cloud services. Microsoft is too trying to do this armed with its dominant market share of OS for PC, its Xbox game console and Window Phone 7.

Eventually at some point, a common protocol will have to be established to ensure that devices/screens are agnostic to the OS. That is an Apple iPhone should be able to communicate seamlessly with say an Android Phone. Until such standard has been established, it may be hard for us to reach the day where all their devices can converge and interact with each others.
