Conceived by Korean designer Won-Seok-Lee, the “B-membrane” is one of the most interesting PC prototypes I’ve ever seen.
The B-membrane looks nothing like a conventional computer, more like a spaceship or space station, but it is indeed a PC, able to project an image of your desktop on any surface you can point its omni-directional projector at, thus rendering even the slimmest LCD monitor useless. It also has a membrane keyboard and mouse that appear only when you need them too, and an optical drive.
The B-membrane isn’t useless even when it is shut-down, its smart projector turns it into an ambient light-effects system to spice up the look of your crib.

Wow. That is absolutely amazing!
I wonder when this or something similar will hit the market.

Doesn’t anybody remember projectors? You can’t see anything unless the lights are off and the curtains are drawn, it’s really annoying. I’d need to hang a screen for it too, I haven’t got white walls. Also, these days who wants a computer you can’t take outside? My laptop’s L.C.D. screen is easily visible in direct sunlight when the reflector is turned on, whereas a projector would be totally useless in broad daylight.

You’re absolutely right, but what this revolutionary design concept will inspire is
that someone will think the same way you did and say:
“Hey why wouldn’t we just do a hologram instead projector, and - voila! A whole new world is there before you can say: “projector sucks”.
Let’s welcome the future. Cheers.

Okay, you work on that whole hologram thing. That sounds like a great idea.

Oh, cool. I’d luv this thing. Wonder if it is a prototype of a quantum computer that someone had been talking about a short while ago?
