Samsung transparent smartphone

I'd skip itI'd give this a miss.

Technically plausible and better than a transparent TV, but he thinks it will fail because AR glasses will make it redundant.

What I liked

  • AR could feel more immersive through a transparent pane
  • Both-sided touch interaction
  • Minor safety benefit of seeing your surroundings

What I didn't

  • Likely overtaken by AR glasses
  • Background can interfere with the display
  • Transparency is mostly a novelty
