What do cell phones look like in the year 2144?
Obviously they won’t have a screen anymore. They’ll be pop-up displays. So if you’re sitting on a train and your romantic partner sends you a steamy selfie…guess who has an audience?
Has this annoyed anyone else?
If they’re tactical screens, that makes sense. But I still don’t think transparent displays on personal devices will be a thing in the future.
In movies and shows they’ve become popular because its easy to shoot, it doesn’t block anything or anyone in the scene or need a specific angle. Regular screens are always facing the opposite direction of the person looking at them in the scene.
Disagree. It’s easier to shoot and vfx a little green glowing screen than it is to operate a camera around, light for, and interact with an imaginary hologram that will get crammed in there later. Also cheaper. And faster.
