Holy Smokes. Windows Phone on a Flexible Display? Awesome!

imageAt the CES Keynote, some amazing things happened. For not being part of CES, Microsoft was all over it!

“It should be clear that there is no rule that says displays or computers need to be flat, opaque or rigid.“

“Microsoft vision is that sensors like Kinect combined with flexible, transparent and projected displays will bring us to a point where any object can be a surface and can be a computer.“

“What we’re demoing today is both real time and fully interactive. And, while you may find it hard to believe, the footage shown here is exactly what appeared in our lab without any special effects being added.  Some companies talk about a reality distortion field, we [Microsoft Research] have actually built one.”

“Xbox, go big!”

Awesome.
