Korean designer *Won-Seok Lee* brings the attention back to desktop PCs with an elegant and compact design. The “B-membrane” concept PC eliminates the need for a monitor with its built-in [omnidirectional projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-freestyle1). You can use any surface you want as your monitor. It also features a ['membrane' keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumo-x700) that conveniently appears when you need to type. The circuitry and optical drive are housed inside the [ultra portable desktop computer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-desktop-computer). When not in use for computing, you can also use B-membrane to beam ambient light effects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, 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 - **Compact Desktop Pcs:** The trend of compact desktop PCs focuses on creating smaller and more portable designs, allowing for greater mobility and convenience. - **Omnidirectional Projectors:** The trend of omnidirectional projectors aims to eliminate the need for traditional monitors by projecting the display onto any surface, providing more flexibility and reducing hardware requirements. - **Integrated Keyboards:** The trend of integrated keyboards seeks to create seamless user experiences by incorporating keyboards that appear and disappear as needed, optimizing space and reducing clutter. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** By embracing compact desktop PCs, technology companies have the opportunity to create innovative and portable devices that cater to the growing demand for flexibility and convenience. - **Entertainment:** The integration of omnidirectional projectors in desktop PCs opens up new opportunities for the entertainment industry, allowing for immersive gaming and multimedia experiences without the need for separate monitors. - **Interior Design:** The use of compact desktop PCs with ambient light effects offers interior design companies the chance to incorporate technology seamlessly into their design concepts, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Keyboard PC Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1999-keyboard-pc.md) - [Elegant Working Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindset-builtin-computer-desk.md) - [Expressive Side-Display Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-bubble-projector.md) - [Ultra-Efficient Keyboard PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentaform-abacus-pc.md) - [Workstation Projection Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-wall.md) - [Ultra-Short Throw Projection Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/projection-computer.md) - [Design-Conscious Mini Desktop PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-mini-pc-am03.md) - [Desk Display Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pc-am03.md) - [Projector-Equipped Mini PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pc-and-projector.md)
