Weird device, why I should need a transparent phone? It is unpratical, as it is difficult to find the smartphone on a table or any other usual surface.
Btw, batteries are not transparent, and you cannot use such small batteries with a smartphone because they don't provide enough capacity.

This is not even a prototype, this is a mockup. A piece of a plexiglass with holograms and two cell batteries inside it. No wonder he made no phone calls.

verkle:Boy - so much negative on this site - where is the vision?


You must be new here. :-) Wait until you see a few more "future technologies" and "breakthrough discoveries" here and how they never seem to become an actual product. They always seem to have a fatal flaw that prevents them from coming to market. But I do always come back for more, so I guess I do have hope.

Instead of a hand held phone, this transparent glass should be used as a projection over eye glasses such as in Google's project Glass, or perhaps as a bluetooth or wifi peripheral to iphone or android phones. People would be wearing these type of projection glasses instead of bluetooth head phones for both visual and aural aid. Since the transparency is adjustable, it offers a level of security and privacy as in self-darkening sunglasses.

Wow... This is the pet rock of our time.

Amazing.

Finally the invisible man and invisible woman will have the phone they always wanted.

Apple fanboys will still buy it! Ridiculous.

Amazing!!! This is a Game-Changer!!!!
How does Physorg find these break-throughs?

So basically this would act like the glass in the recent Total Recall remake, where someone's personal interface is projected through the glass surfaces?

At first I was thinking.. transparent case.. what's the big deal? But then I saw it in action in the video and saw that it wasn't just a screen and transparent plastic, the image was being projected.. Very neat.

I wonder if this technology could be used for heads-up displays in vehicles?

As far as I understood, they demonstrated white/transparent display. But what is the speed and how would they add colors to such a display?

Actually, this is pretty cool. Have you ever been annoyed by a smartphone touch screen because your finger gets in the way when you are using it? Imagine having the images on the screen be semi-opaque and there's a touch surface on both sides. You could do the touch screen interface on the back side so that your fingers aren't blocking your view while you're touching it. That might even work better because then you would be using your fingers in stead of your thumb like we all do now. My index finger is much thinner, longer and more dexterous than my thumb, so that sounds good to me. I've heard about technology like this before, and that was the thing that I liked about it. You could also create new finger gestures by combining motions on both sides of the screen at the same time.

As for fully transparent displays, they are already available. You can get them for retail store display counters and refrigerator door displays. I assume this device is lighter and more durable.

Who can tell me how they make silicon based CPU invisible?
