Maybe it will instead open the small touchscreen devices back up towards full desktop kinds of use. (full screen apps annoy me) A tablet could have such a device built into it, a small laser device could project a control interface onto any surface, keyboard (text or music with multi manuals) a mixer, wave editor... of course these things could also be done on the main screen.. but I am thinking the wrist angle for some common tasks would be better on a horizontal surface. A 3D/holographic display is what is needed to complete this gadget. The small tablet/smartphone devices suffer from low screen real estate and so buttons must be big to get touch info accurately, This device could allow for a much bigger space to be used even on a small screen and smaller buttons. How open is the driver? "SDK for Windows 7 and 8, Mac OSX 10.7 and higher, and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail" sounds like not open to me. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net
