Ericsson’s Spider PC Concept Projects The Keyboard And Screen

Over at the Taiwan Broadband show, Ericsson’s vision for the portable computer of 2020 uses a pico-projected screen and laser-projected keyboard. And though they’ve got a rough prototype (pictured), they imagine it ultimately squeezing into this bizarre spider-leg tripod design…

It’d have essentials like wireless broadband connectivity and a battery, but I’m hoping that by 2020 we’ll have cooler stuff than a laser-projected keyboard. Their time has come and gone already, no? Less of that, more interactive holographic display technology, please. More wacky 2020 shenanigans at: [Ericsson via MobileandNotebook]
