Imagine the convenience of being able to slip your tablet into a folder or smartphone into your wallet and running out the door? Researchers at Ontario’s Queens University Human Media Lab are working on making that wish a reality with their paper-thin, flexible minicomputers.
"This computer looks, feels and operates like a small sheet of interactive paper," declared creator Roel Vertegaal, director of the lab. "You interact with it by bending it into a cellphone, flipping the corner to turn pages or writing on it with a pen."
