Artificial intelligence has already changed how we work, so it makes sense that AI will also change the devices we work with. For example, the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop rethinks the traditional clamshell into a more collaborative-friendly device for working in a world of AI-generated content.
Watch this: This Concept Laptop from Lenovo Has a Transparent Display
The proof of concept laptop appeared at MWC 2024 and features a 17.3-inch micro-LED transparent display that allows you to see right through to whatever’s on the other side of the screen. The design allows the overlay of virtual creations onto the real world, essentially becoming a see-through whiteboard. The effect would be similar to how Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headset can drop virtual objects into your actual surroundings. (The transparency would also stop anyone from surprising you by popping up from behind the screen…if that’s a thing that happens.)
