Thin Screens

http://horizon.nmc.org/wiki/Thin_Screens

Imagine reading a newspaper with moving images like those in the Harry Potter movies.  With interactive electronic paper or e-paper, the Horizon report feels it is as close as 5 years away.  Products like the Kindle and E-Book readers by Sony use a form of e-paper now.  However to really come alive it has to be flexible and interactive.  Imagine reading a magazine, and a car ad shows an SUV traversing a riverbed, or next summer blockbuster putting trailers in your daily newspaper.  Get ready, it's coming.



This is a very expensive prototype that is a proof of concept.  However, it is possible in the near future.
