Lenovo, recognized for its energetic analysis and improvement initiatives, made waves final 12 months with its Rollable Laptop Concept and sister system Motorola Rollable Phone, each most likely impressed by LG,
This 12 months, Lenovo is coming to MWC 2024 with the ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop Concept, a pocket book outfitted with a 17.3-inch translucent show and a digital keyboard.
The ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop Concept contains a 17.3-inch MicroLED show with a decision of 720p, a 120 Hz refresh charge, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits, delivering vibrant visuals and easy transitions.
The digital keyboard, illuminated in certainly one of seven accessible colours, vanishes when customers method the stylus to the laptop computer, reworking the complete floor right into a drafting board. The ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop is supposed for artists and designers (like me in my former life), but it surely won’t be appropriate for heavy keyboard customers akin to writers or programmers.
The rear-mounted digital camera permits object recognition and permits numerous Augmented Reality (AR) functions. Lenovo demonstrated an AI-powered function the place putting a sunflower behind the laptop computer and textual content prompts triggered a butterfly animation on the display screen. Lenovo envisions customers using the clear show to hint objects positioned behind it, turning the laptop computer into an costly tracing paper for shoppers desperate to learn to draw. The function permits architects {and professional} designers to overlay digital designs onto real-world environments, unlocking new avenues for creativity and visualization.
The show may be totally translucent or flip into an opaque white floor when the brightness is pushed to 1000 nits. The laptop computer capabilities as a traditional Windows PC in opaque mode, supporting typical duties like internet looking, picture and textual content file manipulation, and stylus-based drawing. While the general person expertise felt fluid, attaining exact drawings might require changes. For occasion, I needed to shut one eye to handle to attract the sunflower’s petals completely.
The system’s smooth and chic design, show high quality, and AR functionalities led me to check, for the second time, the viability of a client digital system that includes a clear show as a tangible product.
As Lenovo places it “The technology offers more possibilities in the future with further optimization of image quality, durability, and adjustable transmittance to provide more privacy or more transparency to interact with real-world objects”.
