“Wearable Computer Display”

February 16th, 2009 | Category: [pop]!culture, writing

(From Wired Magazine) If you talk to me about the future of technology for five minutes, I’ll mention the word “transparent”. In other words it’ll be all around us and we won’t notice it. Forget those outdated technologies known as computer “screens” and “keyboards”– this invention from those brilliant kids at MIT lets you use any surface as the display and input device. It also reads anything with the right code printed on it, and provides relevant information. For example, the wearer scans a book and gets a relevant review. So, what’s the first application people thought of for this amazing (if overdue) invention? Well I would have said “porn” but for some reason they went with commerce.
