Awesome!!!!!!!

Wait... you can watch p0rn without the outsiders knowing that you are watching it but they can see you jack off? so the outsider would think you are jacking of on him/her? hmmm....

But.. why would I do that? then they can't see me..

Can you imagine the kind of things we will have in homes 10 - 15 years from now?

Damn...

^^ Future is now B_E_L_I_E_V_E!!!!

There you go spurgeonryan... Now you can be even more of a road hazard with one of these installed on the front window of your vehicle.

Sorry NiKKoM =(

That will be fun til a baseball goes through it

In all seriousness, who would want this window?

I have never had the urge to check my email from a window and I doubt I ever will. It may have some niche applications, but I doubt Joe Bloggs would ever need to spend thousands of dollars on one of these.

This is a nice idea for a gadget and I can appreciate the hard work that has gone into it, but it has no real purpose other than to impress.

For a few decades people have been creating very poor quality heads-up-displays for cars ... This technology could go a long way towards making them fairly decent. A lot of the technologies that we need for self driving cars are going to initially be implemented as features that provide additional information to drivers. We will need a way to communicate this information to a driver in a way that doesn't distract them, which would best be handled through a HUD with contextual information being added periodically.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. It's not the screen I see as pointless, that technology has already proved itself as valuable (HUD in aircraft, etc).

It's the window itself being used as an interface. As I said I don't think people would ever do things like check their emails or update Twitter from a window, like the demonstration showed.

I can only see it having more niche, specialist applications
