Ericsson Spider PC concept

The Taiwan Broadband show has its fair share of oddities, where among them include Ericsson’s own take on a portable computer of the future, where it will rely on a pico-projected screen and laser-projected keyboard to get you moving. Laser-projected keyboards are nothing new, and while improvements have been made to include the clickety-clack sounds as you type, somehow the lack of physical feedback doesn’t feel quite right. Hopefully this won’t sip too much juice, and if you’re going to use it everyday for hours on end, how will the projector lamp hold out?
