Why does hollywood's vision of the future contain so many

Maybe they're made to be completely opaque when needed (thereby looking like current ones), and become transparent when you want.

What'd be bad about that?

>>58683034
But they're never opaque
They just make them like that because lolfuture

>>58682986
literally to indicate what's on the display without requiring awkward camera angles

usability doesn't matter in a fucking movie

>>58683056
What if only the background is transparent, and everything else (like text, GUI, images, etc) is completely opaque?

>>58683093
would feel like my suckless terminal configuration

>>58682986
Because it looks futuristic to most people. You're not supposed to think too hard about it, it's just meant to look cool and futuristic.

its to emphasise that the movie is set in the future, since we don't have transparent display today, that become obvious

its like portraying hackers like pic related. if he wasn't wearing gloves and ski mask he would have looked like a normie sharing normie pictures on some normie botnet

These two and CGI UI's look a lot more convincing on glass. You try to CGI a future OS on a regular screen and it looks like ass.

>>58683034
why though? AR? what a useless feature

>marvel

It's not supposed to be practical or even realistic. It's supposed to be cool and comic book-esque.

This transparent tech is in loads of shit. I just googled transparent display and the first picture was iron man.

>>58683205
It would open to other possibilities and uses, depending on which type of technology there is at that time.

>>58682986
So we can get a dramatic visual of the user. Just like the screen protected on the user bit. It's not supposed to be real. It's a movie.

If you thought it was supposed to be reality... well, I have some bad news to break to you about pornography.

Have fun reading with shit moving all the time in the background, colors changing, light intensity changing. Will sure be fun when you have to read yellow text in a blue background that suddenly gets brighter because of some fucking police car driving by with all their gorillion extra lights turned on.

>>58683507
I guess if you can actually make a transparent display with pixels that can dynamically fade in and out of opacity, then you can easily make it so that the background can change according to what's behind it.
Or even better, keep it opaque for most things, and use the transparency for things that need it, instead of having it on all the time.

>movie set in the future
>Obama is on British money
I am puzzled by this to this very day

>hollywood's vision of the future
That's not really the vision this devious clique of billionaires have. If you want a vision of the kind of future they want for the rest of us, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

>United Federation of Britain
>also has Chinese shit on it
the US, China, and Britain obviously formed a Federation, and that's their currency

It is expected that this will be the next big thing.

However, power consumption is somewhat high in wide bandgap semiconductor based CPU.

>>58682986
There are uses for transparent displays but not like what you see in movies.

You can use them in windows. So if you have a store you can have a transparent display complementing what is on display. Or on a car to give you simple information while you drive along.

Another thing you could do is put a transparent display on a helmet and now you can have a satnav when you're on a bike.


Basically, anything AR related would work with transparent displays.

They're so cool and so pointless

>transparency for things that need it
What could possibly need that? Just keep the whole thing opaque at all times.

It's probably work fine for small handheld displays due to how close they're typically held to the face. Focal distance would blur everything behind the display while you're focused on the device, lending to an effect similar to the frosted-glass blurry look used in iOS and now in parts of Windows.
