The eco-friendly aspect is quite simple: get rid of the [keyboard and the monitor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-keyview-13-touch). Instead, Froot has two projectors, one for the keyboard and one for the screen. Froot is also made out of a biodegradable starch-based polymer and the colorful casing also makes for a nice eye-pleasing desk accessory. Check it out in the gallery above! **Implications** - When I looked at these images I couldn't help but think that using my conventional keyboard-monitor is outdated and not nearly as cool. Nevertheless, the Froot is a product that provides you with a window into the futuristic goods sci-fi movies and television prepared us for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Screenless Computing:** The Froot's innovative use of projectors to replace the traditional desktop monitor and keyboard could lead to further development of screenless computing technology. - **Sustainable Computing:** The Froot's use of a biodegradable starch-based polymer could inspire further development of sustainable computing options across the tech industry. - **Projection Technology:** The Froot's use of projectors for both the keyboard and screen could lead to further exploration and development of projection technology for desktop computers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Computer Hardware Manufacturing:** The Froot's innovative design could inspire companies in the computer hardware manufacturing industry to develop more sustainable and screenless computing options. - **Home Office Furniture:** The Froot's eye-catching design could inspire companies in the home office furniture industry to create more visually appealing and functional desk accessories. - **Green Technology:** The Froot's use of sustainable materials and eco-friendly design could inspire further development of green technology across various industries beyond just computing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifunctional Hidden Display Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scroom-keyboard.md) - [Flexible Removable Display Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flux-multimonitor.md) - [Screen-Equipped Computer Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-mouse-touch.md) - [Interactive Display-Equipped Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finalmouse-centerpiece.md) - [Futuristic Gaming Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-sophia.md) - [Augmented Reality Projection Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetop.md) - [Productive Screen-Equipped Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-keyboard.md) - [Elegant Working Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindset-builtin-computer-desk.md) - [Keyboard PC Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1999-keyboard-pc.md)
