This stretchable technology goes beyond expanding its size, though, as you can freely twist, extrude, and fold it without damaging the screen.

Someone should make a mask with this that continually changes the appearance of the wearers face to confuse ai surveillance tracking.

They already have those with little projectors.

Is this what you’re referring to?

That’s pretty neat and I didn’t know that existed. The whole external projector requirement is rather limiting though. A cloth like screen could be a nice improvement to the concept.

I was thinking of something else, but I’m sure there’s plenty of different solutions.

This was the one I was thinking about. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/ddplms/hk_wearable_face_projector_to_avoid_face/

I like they how casually skip over the whole, having a 3D printer on hand as part of step one.

Those look pretty cool, Im not sure where I would use it yet, but I’m sure they will end up being useful for various things. A lot of displays in dashboard look displeasing to the eye to me, I’m sure curving screens could help with that. I foresee many a dick joke being made with them as well. (Couldn’t help myself)

You aren’t thinking corporate profit centric uses…

We can put these on clothing so people can sell their personal ad space to companies!

Look at me, I am the billboard now!

I’m waiting for a screen/phone I can use like those wrist bracelets you slap on when you were younger and then take off and extend to be a phone and maybe extend so far to be a tablet.

That’s okay I guess; when are they planning on making products that don’t suck?

I got five air conditioners from them years back for an old house I lived in, and they all busted at the same time. I got a DVD rewriter from them which also busted. I got a TV from them a short while ago and it’s also busted. Literally the only product I ever got from them that didn’t bust (yet!) was a fridge. I wouldn’t have bought the TV either if it wasn’t somewhat cheap, well-sized and 4K (8K?).

This is a “Solution Before Problem™” but still extremely cool as a technology

Edit: also dont foldable screens stretch already? Or how do they compensate for the length difference between folded and unfolded, esoecially on the huawei with 2 folds for example. And the other thing is if they have stretchable screens, could they have stretchable semiconductors? Its cool but my philosophy is that you should always strive for simplicity and one piece of a device should only so its own thing. If you have a hinge its okay but suddenly when you fold a bunch of other things thats too much. Thats for example why i think the ds/3ds is a brilliant design while every single foldable phone is useless. IMO foldable screens are usefull where it only does one thing like on a curved screen. Thats on optimization where they manufacture one panel but the company that makes the monitor can put a curve on it in the factory. This is MY OPINION so it doesnt have to be currect. Also sorry for the rant.
