    Uhm, cool I guess. Why should we use this? Does it have any advantage over classical displays?

      Some very novel jobs where you need to be at a computer but also like to see the person in front of you? For the sake of transparency so the client can follow a bit?

      I am just guessing. Transparent screens as tech are very promising for AR, imagine a technicians tablet with this? But a laptop… more a novelty.

        One person would be looking at a reversed image though, so that’s not going to fly.

        Why not simply have a double sided monitor?

      Yes. The advantage is it’s really cool.

      You can get done damn near everything you need with super basic products, but is that how you roll?

      Put a paper drawing behind the transparent screen and draw on the screen to digitize it.

      Even if it does, it has a ton of disadvantages too.

      So you can proudly watch porn in public and make not just people behind you uncomfortable, but also people in front of you!
