But instead of requiring that you carry around a heavy 15-inch machine complete with a QWERTY keyboard and a monitor, this cutting-edge device stores it all virtually. The handheld gadget comes almost without buttons, and rather equips you with a broad range of functions in the form of a [hi-tech projection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurzen-zip). All you have to do to coax an image out of it is place it on a glass surface, such as a coffee table or even against a window. Once Jakub Zahor's invention is fixed in place, it scans the surface and produces a smart display to your desired dimensions. The Future Touch Tech concept permits you to interact with your media and data without laying a further hand on the device. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Virtual Projection Devices:** The trend of virtual projection devices is disrupting the traditional concept of portable computing by eliminating the need for physical buttons and screens. - **Interactive Surface Technology:** The rise of interactive surface technology allows users to create smart displays on any glass surface, opening up new possibilities for user interaction and engagement. - **Gesture-controlled Interfaces:** Gesture-controlled interfaces are transforming how users interact with technology, enabling hands-free control and a more immersive user experience. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry stands to benefit from the disruptive innovation opportunities presented by virtual projection devices and interactive surface technology. - **Information Technology:** The information technology industry can leverage gesture-controlled interfaces to create innovative solutions for enhanced productivity and user experience. - **Media and Entertainment:** Media and entertainment companies can harness the power of virtual projection devices to revolutionize how content is displayed and consumed, offering immersive experiences for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifunctional Foldable Mobile Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/move-mobile-device.md) - [Projection-Style Computer Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook-go.md) - [Dedicated Spatial Computing Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetop-g1.md) - [Ultra-Short Throw Projection Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/projection-computer.md) - [Touchscreen Projector Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchscreen-projector.md) - [Pocket Computing Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokepad.md) - [Transparent Crystalline Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-project-crystal.md) - [Smartphone-Powered Portable Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze-portable-display.md) - [Touch-Based Portable PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gole-1.md)
