I had thought this was a screen that could form bubbles with electric charge, or similar.

I think this whole thing is really cool, but it's nothing that is really unique or can't be done by easier to use, cheaper, screens or robotic arms.

It's really cool, really futuristic looking, but that's the sad thing. The stuff that looks futuristic isn't the future at all, simple black squares with no buttons are.
