B-Membrane the omni directional projector PC
By Andrew | June 24, 2008
All the latest computer designs seems to lose their charm the moment you put your eye on this new concept of computer designing called the “B-membrane”. Designed by Korean designer Won-Seok Lee this one is truly a futuristic concept that does away with the need of having those big and bulky monitors taking space in your work area.
If there’s no monitor then what works here? It takes the omni directional projector technology to project your monitor on any surface that you like. Apart from the monitor, even the keyboard is no less than a treat in the Kubrick inspired ‘B-membrane’. It features a membrane touch sensitive keyboard that appears only when needed through the integrated optical drive. To make it all the more interesting, when the computer is not in use it can be used as an ambient light to produce beautiful feects on any surface that you like.
