> I doubt any company has done usability studies on the damn things. They'll get as far as prototypes like these, people will try to use them, quickly figure out they're complete shit, and all the transparent-specific R&D will have been wasted unless it can be pivoted into HUD tech, but HUDs can't be made like this because the focal length is wrong.

Products like these are definitely not supposed to sell well and Lenovo doesn't expect it to. What it does is deliver a "wow" factor. This is effectively advertising.

I'd like to see it, when you sit opposite someone with a laptop it does feel like a bit of barrier, perhaps this would lessen that? Hard to imagine without actually trying it, which I don't imagine would be happening to me anytime soon!
Now you can know for sure that they're not paying attention to you.
And they can see me hiding my phone watching tiktubes while I pretend to do business, business, business, numbers, numbers, numbers.
