This device uses a transparent OLED display and supports wireless charging technology. I’m talking here about the Fujitsu Iris, a pretty interesting design that was created by Liu-Wei, Yao Kai-Chi, Hong Ruei-Hong and Cheng Ya-Fang. It’s a got a camera, a scan sensor, augmented reality, compatibility with pen input and much, much more. Fujitsu Iris uses its transparency to scan documents, do instant translation and even magnify items. In order to scan a piece of paper, you just slide around a special bar and that’s it, problem solved. This tablet works perfectly for designers too, since it comes with a reality amplification application and electronic compass that make a design into a real surrounding environment.

The keyboard can even be optimized so that it creates a distinctive interface for every separate program; i.e. keys for text editors but a image editing tools for programs like Photoshop.
