Metro UI Still With Us In The Future (Future Vision)

[Judge_Daniel]

The only thing that bugs me about a future like this is that there will be even more fragmentation between urban and rural as well as rich and poor. Mind you, not the rich and the poor, but rich areas versus poor areas, countries, etc. There is already a drastic difference between the rural town in which I was raised and cities. I think people would go into culture shock when traveling between the two in the proposed future.

We have none of what you said yet. In Labs, yes. There is much more stuff than that in labs too. That means nothing. Just that the tech is being worked on. MS Surface had great potential. Wondering where it went. Looked pretty much complete 5 years ago. Still have not seen anyplace with an actual unit. Have not seen any devices where I can walk into my TV room and flip my movie from my Tablet to my TV. Sure I can stream from my server to any unit in the house, and with correct software I could possibly start the movie in the same place but nothing nearly as seamless as in the video. Transparent screens are one thing. The devices those actors were interacting with were 100% transparent. The note card the valet had. How was that getting power? Where was the motherboard or any other component of it? All the clear screens still have a frame and opaque areas to hide all the components.

There was nothing to save you in a car crash in 1910. You hit a tree you were dead most likely. Google quantum levitation or quantum trapping. Will show you that we can have flying cars that don't touch the ground without worrying about death if the "motor" fails. A jet pack could easily have a parachute in it. I know we have moving walkways. That is one of the only inventions that is fully working in real life.

Save my post for 30 years and see how far off I was. The hardware is many years off. The interaction is not as far off. I mean a refrigerator door that is a clear LCD? We dont really even have any refrigerators with small LCD stuck to the door.

here it is took me a while to find it! but tablet to table to wp7 to TV does exist!

Tablet to TV to table: nsquared seamless computing - YouTube

Holo Desk (also int he vid): http://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-research-makes-dreams-reality-holodesk

Transparent screen: Transparent OLED Screen! CES 2010 - YouTube

Flexible screen: Samsung Flexible AMOLED and Transparent OLED Screens - YouTube
and here: Toshiba flexes its paper-thin LCD muscle - YouTube

And SONY is the best flexible + transparent!: New Sony Technology - YouTube

jet packs cant have parachute cause you don’t go high enough for one , and second your attached to it lol no ejjecting , i watched a 2hour documentary on Jetpacks, we have them and they work! ,,, just not efficiant and very dangerous, allot fo test pilots have died.

basically we have all the technologies most of them being used in Military + high end business., problems being its WAY to expensive to MASS produce for the regular population, but that will change once it gets refined with newer technologies. just like we never thought we would ever get a touch screen computer yet alone a touch screen Phone!!!! or even colour TV!!! lol

ill guaranty all that stuff is potentially in your home BEFOR 2020...

we are not trying to create WORP speed here from star trek .. this is basically Being able to manipulate lights and make our EXISTING technologies smaller ...

Dude. I wanna visit the future...

Tablet to TV to phone example is a one off demonstration. Very impressed it could take that lamp photo and turn it into a 3d model, but for all we know that was done in a 3d modeling program. Holodesk is a joke in its current abilities. Transparent SCREEN is a far cry from transparent phone. The sony example breaks the LCD when the guy bends it. Has lines in it after. So I would have to bet that tech is far off as well.

Jet packs go to the top of buildings and bridges. Ever heard of base jumping? You do not need to be very high to utilize a parachute. Even if not fully deployed it could soften the landing. I did not mean eject either. Simply if the engine fails or is shut down in flight the chute would deploy automatically.

We are on the verge of all this technology, but far from having it in day to day life like all these videos imply. Our entire environment needs to be altered for digital interaction.

I still have to open 95% of the doors in my daily life, MANUALLY.
