Iris – My Kinda Tablet
The era of Tablet PC is upon us and it’s kinda mesmerizing to see the kind of functions and features you can pack into the device. For instance the Iris Tablet PC is a transparent touchpad with an OLED display. It uses wireless charging technology, can scan documents, translates texts and can work as an efficient navigator. The coolest two apps is how you can use it for planning interior designing using AR and split the screen up for shared use. The kind of concept that I look forward to!
Designers: Liu-Wei, Yao Kai-Chi, Hong Ruei-Hong & Cheng Ya-Fang

I quite enjoy seeing things like this.
But every so often, I’d like to learn of an innovative, useful product when it’s actually available, and not simply at the ‘hey, wouldn’t THIS be cool?’ stage.
That “Oh, you mean it doesn’t actually exist?” gets old after a while.

As a designer, I am not afraid of using or integrating technology into my work. There is no doubt that technology has continued to shape the design industries. This Iris tablet computer is a good example of how computers can be used to help designers to visualize their concepts. Additionally, the ability for designers to scan and draw on this Iris tablet can further promote efficiency. I would love to see this product in real life. Thank you for sharing.

I`m only concern about this project is where are all the internal parts of this tablet ? I mean, it`s nice that it`s transparent, crystal clear it seems like, but what about the hardware ? Where is it?
Anyway, this is my only concern. =) I really enjoyed this project =)

Really cool concept. But like Bill, Rahul and Cadu suggest, it a lot of wishful thinking. Kind of Space travel in a worm hole.

Great concept.
But please bare in mind that the display must be determined by the distance of your eye to the screen in order for some of the application to work. Since it is a transparent screen, the closer you put your eyes towards the screen, the angle of sight and the enlargement of object changes from person to person. So actually, there is a lot to work on in terms of the software and the hardware if someone were to work on it.

Its not that bad, you basicly need headtracking.
No different to the demo video you see on YouTube by “Johney Lee” who did it with a Wiimote and IR.
Its also been used for a DSi game which tracked the head location by identifying the eyes.
Once you have the head location, rendering a virtual camera at the correct position is trival.
The only issue is sticking the head facing camera on the nice transparent screen
