Essentially, they&#8217;re hundreds of mini display blocks that can form wherever they want.<\/p>\n<p>So if you needed a reminder of where the remote was, a bunch could go form an arrow pointing at it. A bunch more could make up a shopping list for you near the fridge. And so on and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>My issue is that it just all seems so impractical. How often do you need a location-based display? How many problems that this system claims to solve couldn&#8217;t be solved more cheaply and easily on an already-existing device, like a phone or a tablet?<\/p>\n<p>But who knows, I&#8217;m no futurist. Maybe Curious Displays are the wave of the future. Then again, maybe not.
