    I think I want to go back to school when all this becomes reality. That truly is amazing of what the future will hold. Tremendous strides are being made in display technology by companies like Corning and Optrex USA. We really do live in an amazing time.

    Curious. How will writing be kept separate from each side of the glass. Will there be two seperate layers divided by a Solid clear layer?
