I would LOVE my 55'' 3D tv to have this technology. I could go to a friends house to play Halo and fold it into my pocket or even get a few friends together to watch sweet 16 next year.

Thanks for sharing the great article, Amit. It was certainly an entertaining read and I can't wait to see how companies will implement it into future devices. Personally, I'd love one of those flex-a-tablets from the Korean Samsung commercial. Looks like some straight-out-of Mission Impossible/Iron Man movie tech!

You're welcome Yegor. Yeah in this era of technology, no tech in the Mission Impossible is impossible to bring to life.:)
