The ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop impressed onlookers as it allowed a clear view through the 17.3-inch display even while playing media.
A transparent 17.3-inch laptop with a mini-LED panel? Certainly one of the most unusual tech devices at MWC 2024.
2. Humane Ai Pin
The Ai Pin by Humane, founded by former Apple employees, turned heads with its sleek wearable designed to replace smartphones.
At MWC 2024, the Ai Pin showcased its features, including answering questions and responding to voice commands.
The Ai Pin can project visuals on your hand for interactive experiences, offering a novel approach to connectivity without a traditional screen.
3. Motorola’s Bendable Phone
Motorola introduced a concept bendable phone that can be worn on the wrist, showcasing innovation in flexible display technology.
Motorola’s work on the bendable phone concept has evolved over the years, offering users a device with a flexible pOLED display that can be bent at various angles.
“A number of small batteries, instead of the typical one big unit, [are] arranged in such a way to form a sort of a spine for the device,” said Schroeder.
The device can also be positioned in tent mode, enabling multiplayer gaming interactions.
Final thoughts
Motorola’s bendable phone and Lenovo’s transparent laptop appear to be the furthest from commercial availability.
However, despite its futuristic nature, the Ai Pin is already on sale for $700 with orders being accepted.
