Celdin Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Impractical and highly expensive. The same thing was said about personal computers back in the day... MightyJordan and pack34 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
articuno1au Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well back in the day, they were the size of houses and moths shorted them out :p So they weren't wrong >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 In all seriousness though, I think there will be major breakthroughs in voice recognition and other technologies that allow this type of system usage without physical interaction long before we can do that much on free standing glass. In short, before we get that type of glass, we will go beyond touch-screen controls IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an awesome concept though >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted February 4, 2012 Veteran Share Posted February 4, 2012 I sense a lot of broken glass in the future (based on the first video as the second video would just see smarter windows replace existing windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I sense a lot of broken glass in the future (based on the first video as the second video would just see smarter windows replace existing windows). Considering it's Gorilla Glass, I doubt it. The way their technology is advancing, we'll probably have bulletproof phones in 5-10 years. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack34 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I saw some things in there that could really work. Specifically the auto-dimming glass and having it synced up to your alarm clock to help wake you up in the morning. Also, combining touch glass and tele-presence could really be something. The glass like communications devices however would be a no-go. Who would want others to be able to see every text you send your wife :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Most definitely a very nice gadgetry, basic concept has been predicted even by most feeble minds. Loads of suboptimal models, incompatible interfaces, software support (few useful apps and millions of shiny buggy turds) and, finally, Apple will f*k it all up, as usually, though.

zeta_immersion Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 well ... they forgot about dec 2012 and really ... would the military want this stuff out to the gen public?! .... nooooo ... would politics and bandwidth stifle technological advancement ....? YES!!!! are we going to die like the dinosaurs before we see all this? maybe not ... then again, I would not be surprised if part of this technology is already implemented without us knowing about it.

Pygmy_Hippo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Last night I downloaded the first issue of T3 to my iPad (http://www.t3.com/news/t3-issue-200) I remember buying it back in 1996, and was just gobsmacked at how far we'd come in such a short time - so this glass stuff is probably more possible than we'd realise at this time :) (well, here's hoping anyway!!)

+Xinok Subscriber² Posted February 5, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted February 5, 2012 Impractical and highly expensive. Word of the day right there. It's interesting to demonstrate new ideas for technology, but they could at least come up with more practical uses for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
