Back to Using Pens

Via Collin Brooke, I came across this new way of looking at computer design, that will certainly get a place on my wannahave list as it gets to market.

The 5-pen computer by NEC:

P-ism computer

One pen with the CPU, one with projecting a virtual keyboard, one projecting the output, one with a camera, and one for communications. This with a base containing a battery charger and a mass storage device. Prototype will be around 30k$, or 24kE. Cool!

Realisation on the CPU pen and the Base is open at the moment, but the display, communication, keyboard and camera pen are either near completion, or almost near completion. As to the keyboard, projecting a virtual keyboard is already available on the market. The remaining two pens don't sound as the most difficult, so I think this will see the light of day relatively soon.

I am curious when we will hear more about this, and be able to get rid of the white humming towers under the desk.
