Granted, it’s not like touch typing is some kind of mysterious lost art.Īll in all, the set up doesn’t seem ridiculously practical, but neither does it seem plain ridiculous. If it’s transparent enough, it might actually help you cheat and look at your hands, but if it’s set to a high opacity (a setting at which it would probably look best) it’s going to be like typing blind. Speaking of hands, this is probably going to be hard to use if you aren’t a perfect touch typist, depending on the opacity of the display. At worst, it seems similar to having your hands put in the stocks. First off all, the way the user’s hands fit under the laptop screen seems moderately restraining at best. Of course, there are a few caveats with the design that look like they could use a little ironing out. This creates the faciniating illusion that one is looking into a sort of cyberspace box. Depth sensitive cameras assure that this manipulation is in true 3D and, as a cherry on top, the monitor also tracks head movement so that the user always gets the appropriate perspective. This allows users to type on the keyboard, but also lift their hands to manipulate objects on the transparent monitor from behind.
The prototype device uses a Samsung transparent OLED screen as a monitor, and shifts the keyboard behind the screen, a little like some sort of inverted desktop.

The See-Through 3D Desktop developed by Jinha Lee and Cati Boulanger, former intern and researcher respectively, at Microsoft Applied Sciences gives the old desktop PC a striking VR twist, but its not consumer-grade. Maybe it’s because the present is always boring or maybe, just maybe, it’s because there isn’t any widely available, consumer-grade, holodeck-style technology out there. Sure we’ve got our futuristic tablet PCs and 3D televisions and body-tracking cameras, but this “future” we’re living in still seems a little lacking.
