In many Sci-Fi movies such as minority report, real steel etc, computer screen is see-through. Some vendors already have prototype of see-through LCD. Beside being "futuristic" looking, what are the advantages and applications of such panel?
Collaboration. Augmented reality. Having a big monitor when you need it and a more apparently spacious work environment when you don't. What it's useful for really depends on the specs of the screen.<p>It can be faked to some degree with a webcam, but it's usually not worth the trouble. Some augmented reality applications use a "virtual lens" or "virtual mirror" through this sort of trick. (The mirror version, not so see-through.)
Aquariums, windows to contamination rooms, windows at observation decks, car windows /plane windows /boat windows, 1 way mirrors/windows in myriad situations
