Looks pretty promising if you ask me. If they can make it act as a wacom while im still young they will have my blessing Smile

Seems that we are headed towards a minority report like future.

I think they should be edible. Just imagine it.. candy from the future.

In fact, they should start making everything edible. Computers, cars, bacon bits... these all could solve a lot of problems if you could eat them. There would be a whole lot less trash and whole lot less hungry people.

What the fuck, science? I'm on to you.

THAT is freaking amazing. I see all kinds of new art and packaging with this stuff. I'd love a moving framed print on the wall, or a candy bar that flashes "EAT ME" Wink

holy shit... remember in Minority Report where the Cereal box sang and had a moving image on it? THATS GOING TO HAPPEN. Imagine the possibilities with advertisements. Instead of using TV screens youre going to have the same basic paper images, MOVING. This is NUTS MAN!

This sucks man.. if now you can at least not watch TV to get away from junk information, then what you gonna do if media images will be dancing on your toilet paper, spoon, dog collar, and condoms?

Oh my god! That ain't funny anymore...this stuff will be everywhere.

C'mon now! imagine the possibilities this gives ous in the future.
It wont just be used on condoms (who now start to blink before you come) but you can also decorate your entire house/walls with this stuff and get a pretty awesome quicktime VR. you will be able to change the color of your clothes, shoes and maybe cars. who knows how far they can take it.
But just in say 5 years this will probably be used in newspapers all over the world. What really scares me though is what kind of fashion impact this will have....The future will be vivid and changeable thats for sure.

Well, any kind of advancement in technology brings as much bad, as it does good. It's just that good and bad becomes more advanced Smile

Like cars = fast transportation / sure death when hits someone at 100km/h
Guns = good protection in right hands / lethal weapon in wrong hands
Paper LCD = toilet paper with latest news / advertisement on your pillow

Yup, exactly my thought Shizo. really scaring!!
Question is: will there be more good...or BAD? it'll get worse I quess....

hmm, i thought they were way beyond this by now. I thought they had color ones that emitted light and were getting pretty high res. oh well, good thing this stuff is gonna be cheap tho. very good.
