Making laptop displays a thing of the past.

For all those harried by the lack of privacy on flights or cafes while working on their laptops these days, Israeli startup Sightful has a nifty solution in the store. Using augmented reality , the company is taking on the challenge of protecting privacy by projecting a display in front of the user's eyes and away from everybody else's.

Sightful's solution is quite insightful, to say the least, and addresses both the weight and privacy issues associated with laptops.Sightful is calling its solution the Spacetop and uses AR glasses to project 100 inches of the screen visible only to the wearer. This is being done with two 1080p displays and the projection experienced will be similar to the resolution of a full 2K real-world display.

These specifications are similar to those used on smartphones these days. Spacetop won't be running Windows but use its own operating system instead which is based on open-sourced Android.
