    Are you talking about the transparent hand terminals? I think that effect was just to make it convenient to show the screen and the face of the person looking at it in the same frame—I don’t think there’s much demand for that in real life.

      Yeah, the problem with a display you can see through is that it makes it hard to see what’s on the display. It looks cool, until you need to actually use it.

        Plus the privacy issue.

        If those were ever commercially sold, the first accessory would be an opaque back to put behind it.

            The way a display like that would work would basically be polarized light so it wouldn’t be difficult to see it if you are at the right angle.

              So you’d restrict the angles you could see the image at? That would add a second problem.

                No it wouldn’t it would make it easier polarizing doesn’t restrict the angles you’re overthinking it go look at display technology then come back.
