the HUD is what i initially thought, but in that scenario they'd need the screen to be a decent window as well.

but yeah as you said it would have to be functional as both. and I don't see that happening.

i do wonder how often a technology is developed with vigor only to not sell well. i kinda see that happening in the future with this. which sucks because these have been in development for years.

Remember 3D tvs? This is basically the same kind of 'screen but different' application that has limited uses and some inherent problems that may never be overcome in a way that makes them better than a simple flat screen.

There are tons of other inventions and innovations that hard work is put in to and don't pan out. Things not working out is just part of the process!
