Wireless connectivity and being a smart display seem different to me though. Being able set my laptop down and not have to worry about cable routing seems amazing; being able to have my monitor run apps, show me ads, or require a remote to operate doesn’t seem appealing.
Edit: I think we’d also need to figure out wireless power delivery then?
- throwaway4good 5y agoA lot of thinking comes from the way that technology works right now. But as tehnnology grows cheaper and better a lot of constraints that used to be taken for given disappears. You mentioned wireless power delivery. What if in the future displays become so power efficient that they don't need wired power at all? Why does a display have to be connected to a single computer? It could be connected to multiple devices; some showing windows from my computer underneath my desk together with a video call in another window that goes through my phone. And the weather widget that I configured on desktop computer, why not that keep running on the display, even after I disconnect the desktop computer? These ideas are not new; they have been in distributed computing for ages. What's new is that they now are being explored commercially.
