Tabletop Display

A tabletop display is one in which an interactive display system - meaning graphic display and input controls combined - is merged into the top of a horizontal surface, spreading data out like physical documents, but with all the advantages of virtual data.

Usually tabletop displays are touch screen controlled, occasionally models are surfacing that can interpret vocal commands or gestures in the air above them.

There are several potential ways this display is working. One of the simplest and most plausible is a colour e-paper display behind a completely transparent display medium. The e-paper handles the picture, 'refreshing' the colour display to a matt black when the layer in front, the graphical display is activated. As soon as that deactivates, the 'oil' is re-drawn. Simple, elegant, and still far beyond us.
