The futuristic laptop looks like a keyboard peripheral and works by [projecting imagery directly into the retina](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayneo-air-3s-pro) of the user. This is achieved thanks to built-in Eye-tracking Infrared Illuminators to eliminate the need for a screen and completely transform the mobile computing experience. The conceptual 'Aura' laptop also features a [concave keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumo-x700) that boasts Glow Thru keys that match the impression of a fingerprint for more comfortable typing. The unit is charged by a magnetic charging cable that will enable users to unobtrusively power up when an outlet is available. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retinal Projection:** The concept of projecting imagery directly into the retina of the user creates potential for immersive visual experiences in various industries. - **Screen-free Computing:** The idea of eliminating traditional screens opens up possibilities for innovative user interfaces and new ways of interacting with technology. - **Glow Thru Keys:** The use of Glow Thru keys that match the impression of a fingerprint presents opportunities for enhanced typing experiences and improved tactile feedback. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming:** The gaming industry can leverage retinal projection technology to create more immersive and realistic gaming experiences without the need for traditional displays. - **Healthcare:** In the healthcare industry, screen-free computing could revolutionize medical imaging, allowing doctors to project detailed visuals directly onto the retina for more accurate diagnoses and treatments. - **Design and Productivity Tools:** Retinal projection laptops can transform the design and productivity industry by providing a more natural and intuitive way for designers and professionals to interact with digital content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Projection-Style Computer Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook-go.md) - [Transparent Crystalline Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-project-crystal.md) - [Immersive All-Screen Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook-folio.md) - [Transparency-Focused Laptop Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-book-1-concept.md) - [Dedicated Spatial Computing Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetop-g1.md) - [Glasses-Free 3D Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-laptop.md) - [AI-Powered Productivity Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-ai-device.md) - [3D-Emulating Laptop Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aspire-3d-15-spatiallabs.md) - [Size-Expanding Laptop Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compal-electronics-infinite-laptop.md)
