Cool Transparent Computers

If you are tired of common notebook computers, tablet computers or ultra-light weight computers, you can take a transparent computer home now! Is it possible to get a transparent computer? Yes!! Samsung have already launched a cool transparent laptop at 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The Samsung Mobile Display’s prototype 14-inch notebook is billed as the world’s first and largest transparent OLED prototype. The screen is 40% transparent, which as the image from Engadget above shows, allows you to see your hand through the screen.


The transparent computer is very cool, but why would anyone want a transparent laptop to begin with? What possible use case is there for a transparent laptop screen? Sure, you might think augmented reality, but this is a laptop, not a mobile phone. You’re hardly going to wander around pointing your laptop at things for some augmented reality goodness, and anything a transparent screen can do could easily be replicated by an outward facing camera on the rear anyway. Comparing with common commuter, a transparent computer will immediately make you the center of focus. It is very impressive, isn’t it?
