Samsung Reinvents Windows (Not the OS) With Touchscreen Display
An anonymous reader writes "If you want a large, interactive display on your wall, typically you have to make space for it by moving any pictures out of the way, and finding room next to any shelves or lighting you have installed. Samsung's idea is to remove that problem by creating a transparent display that replaces an actual window, or at least sit over the top of one. The display uses ambient light during the day and then can switch over to a more traditional black background as a night time mode. If you want to shut the daylight out it has virtual blinds you can draw to help darken a room. And from the outside you just like you are tapping your window as none of the graphics can be seen. Yes, your neighbors will talk."
So I guess perverts can just stare at the inside of windows now.
Wouldn't be surprised if a Samsung Window would eventually be cheaper than a real window. Where I live that might be the case anyway.
I hadn't the slightest objection to his spending his time planning massacres for the bourgeoisie... (P.G. Wodehouse)
you're going to get modbombed because Slashdot *hates* when Samsung's copying is pointed out
I'll finally be able to see the dust in the back corner of my cubicle!
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
Yeah, cause there's so many unique ways to lay out a weather widget. Oh, right. Apple exclusively owns any layout they happen to use, and anyone else must use the most inconvenient format and layout they can think of.
Because Apple is so unique and innovative
Fucking idiot fanboys.
I once peeled most of everything from my ThinkPad laptop display and it became transparent, still fully working. It was pretty cool and i think i still have it somewhere.
Eh, I was just pointing out what I'm sure some already noticed, being tongue-in-cheek more than anything. Genuinely not trying to start a flamewar.
How much do they cost? $100 and i will order a dozen
Looks more like the Weather gadget that comes with Windows 7 (may have been there with Vista beta too in 2005)
Um...the weather widget looks a little familiar, doesn't it?

Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. -John Lennon
So people from the outside can't see what is on the screen, do they just see black or when you close the blinds are you still in full view of your neighbors?
Totally absurd !!!
Use it non stop for 10 minutes and you will see how the cramps in your arms will prevent you from going on !!!
Are we finally getting the spaceship windows and flying cars we were promised for the 21st century ? Or are my hopes in vain ?

Nah. I don't have an OSX box to play with, but the Windows 7 widget is currently on the right side of my screen, and the screenshots from OP appear accurate: Both Samsung and Apple have widgets that extend beyond the top of a rectangle, while MSFT does not.
So it looks, to me, more like the OSX widiget.
But really, who cares? It's not like whoever is responsible for these various computer devices invented the concept of a concise tabular weather display with informative graphics. Folks had been doing that long, long time before before any of this in both print and on TV.
That the layout persists is more evidence of its perceived usefulness, than it is evidence that it has been flagrantly copied from someone else's creative work.

Perpetual good weather outside! I feel great, and work better!
I had to use a link to Slashdot, because Wikipedia Links are, like, so out, today.
Now my only problem is that I have to replace my broken windows often. Rocks get hurled through them, flaming Native American arrows get shot through them, and even I manage to damage them when plinking with great-great-granddaddy's 'ole Gatling.
Fix that for me, Samsung.

All of these look just fine and aren't inconvenient.
I heard you want an interactive display on your wall!
So we put a display in on your windows, so you can see it while it's still transparent.
Now when its sunny you can see your Windows with your windows,
and your neighbors can see you see your display when it's night, but they can't see what you see.
After a bit of googling it seems as though Apple ripped off the entire Dashboard concept from Konfabulator.
Contrary to what you may believe, fanboy, Apple are not the epitome of innovation. They'd have gone nowhere if they didn't steal ideas from Xerox (just like Microsoft did). Steve Jobs admitted it himself.
Yo Dawg we herd you liked Windows on your Computers, So we made your Windows into Computers, So now when you're on Windows you can actually see through the Windows!
Looks like the Konfabulator weather widget. It's at least as derived from and different than that as the OS X widget is.
"Yes, your neighbors will talk."
Fapping to pr0n in front of an open window, I bet they will.
YESSIR, because the absolutely only way to design a weather app is to make it look exactly like the OS X dashboard widget from 2005
You mean, the Konfabulator weather app design which Apple ripped off for OS X in 1995.

These would be great with those blinds inside a double glass pane. The outside window should be simple glass, blinds in between and the inside window a screen. That way you can close the blinds and still see the window.
Also: this reminds me of IronMan.
Well, I might have a way, but it only works on a semi spherical planet in a vacuum.
So you thought you'd...what, exactly, by bringing this to light in a completely irrelevant article?
It doesn't help that I recognize a lot of the names he has posted quite negatively and got the shill vibe from many of them. I don't even like to accuse people of shilling, but some of those accounts post in ways above and beyond what I could consider shilling. The only thing I would say is I'm not sure that it's Microsoft. They certainly engage in a lot of negative publicity towards Google though.
I'll end this stating I like both Google and Microsoft. Make of that what you will.
Okay maybe it was more like 5 years ago but I they had an entire house built out of LCD windows to show off the technology. Too lazy to search for a source, just saying this isn't new.

Your'e all thinking it, I just said it for you
Someone at Samsung reads MSPA.
Not to forget, Apple ripped off their entire name and logo from another company. Don't think Samsung has gone that far yet...
Not forgetting of course that apple didn't steal anything from Xerox. I'll take your Konfabulat point though
The window itself is seriously awesome. But the weather app is a direct rip-off of OS X's weather widget. There's seriously no other way to design a weather app but how Apple did in 2005?
Never change, Samsung.
The Apple Weather app looks like the weather presentation has looked when PRINTED in different Swedish NEWSPAPERS from cirka 1980 (ever since Swedish newspapers started to be printed in colour). Similar weather presentations was used by Swedish Television when it was still broadcasted in monochrome; Sweden switched to colour TV broadcasts in 1970. I'm not claiming it is a Swedish invention, this kind of weather display may have been used and invented in some other country/-ies decades before it become common in Swedish media. I'm just pointing out that there is a much larger and diverse world outside the boarders of the country you live in.
Just because some "innovation" is brought to the publics attention by some company in USA, that doesn't mean that company invited it. Most (all?) US companies are copycats by nature (and Apple in particular is a pure copyist), usually decades behind how stuff is done in other countries (and usually the US consumer has less to choose from when it comes to different gadgets doing the same thing, differently, US companies like to standardise on one way for a consumer product to work, to avoid that their consumer will get confused (like early automobiles steered by reins), while most companies operatinh outside USA take for granted that their consumers are intelligent enough to understand that different products might achieve the same end result, even if they need to be handled/interpreted differently). Unlike companies in other countries, US companies like to imply that they invented the things they market, even when they didn't. Because the US population like to live in isolation from the (scary/insignificant/...) world outside USA (when was the last time you visited a foreign website? one that was not in English?), US companies can get away with this kind of shenanigans without getting caught.
The window itself is seriously awesome. But the weather app is a direct rip-off of OS X's weather widget. There's seriously no other way to design a weather app but how Apple did in 2005?
Okay, regardless of how Apple prettified the design that originally came to OS X via Konfabulator - this is being overlaid on a window. Here's a novel idea - if you want to know what the weather is like, instead of looking at a weather widget... LOOK OUT THE DAMN WINDOW!
I remember Konfabulator, I tried it once. I then tried Dashboard after Apple introduced it. Then I noticed that Yahoo! bought out Konfabulator in an attempt to bring the concept to Windows, and now Windows 7 has widgets. Bottom line... they're pretty, but all basically useless. I'd load up one or two, look at them for a few minutes... then never look at them again.

If it has rounded corners apple has already invented the iWindow.
And Konfabulator was nothing more than Desktop Accessories
But then we don't know if Samsung stole the design for the weather widget from Apple. They may have paid to use it, it might be a third party app they installed, it may have been skinned by a freelancer who in turn took his inspiration from somewhere else. The point was about innovation (or lack of) rather than taking ideas without recompense/attribution. Whether Apple had permission to take their ideas from Xerox or not, the point still stands that they didn't innovate, they took an existing idea and polished it.
Make a tablet with this kind of screen in front of an e-ink display and you'd have the best of both worlds: crisp, clear text with long battery life, or full color.
They will indeed talk if you forget that the window is transparent from their side when you're "actively" watching porn on it!

Dude, let it go. Trolls gonna troll. Hell. My account is on that list, and I don't give a rats ass. An idiot trolling on slashdot with supposition and exaggeration and misinformation presented as concrete facts? This is new.
There are intelligent people here, people who can hold an excellent argument on just about any position, and show the advantages of that position, and there are people like that. There have been for the 8+ years I've used this site. It's nothing new, get over it and don't join in. It just makes you look like a douche.
These devices look great in the movies but in daily life... well, there are a LOT of people who think tablets will take the place of computers, these thoughtful posts often being written on PC's has of course no bearing on their value...
The problem is that cost, convenience and usability, just don't measure up. Say I see an email I want to respond to on my window... do I then reply to it on the window? Try it, it isn't nearly as comfortable as it seems. Same with things like the weather, the amount of time really spend checking the weather is very very low and the TV which is already in the house is more then happy to report on it.
Your early morning routine just doesn't fit a dozen gadgets all begging for your attention. The people who have enough time to spend in the kitchen looking at their window can't afford it (the unemployed) and the people who can, have better things to do.
It as with the intelligent fridges that have been just around the corner for god knows how long now. People that do the shopping "mum's" are like the soviets, rather then spending a billion dollars creating a pen that works in zero gravity, they use a piece of paper and pencil and call it a shopping list. The early adopters who could afford the early models just don't do shopping that way.
These widgets all seem nice, as nice as when MS called it Active Desktop, which died. Then Vista something or other, which died and now in Windows 8 again, I am supposed to be looking at my desktop rather then at the program I have opened full screen obscuring it completely.
Even on a tech site such as this, I am fairly certain that 99% of you life in a house that is no more techie then that of your parents. For that matter, lights turned off by clapping, once the next tech, how many are still around?
Windows in houses are often the oddest sizes, go ahead, see if what happens if you break one of yours, almost certain a replacement has to be custom made to fit. They are often very large indeed, so that any tech window replacing them, is going to be highly expensive. Until they get within reach of the common geek software for them will be in short supply making them less usable and until companies start working together instead of fighting each other (wanna bet your Samsung Window conspires with your Philips dishwasher to kill off the iPhone?)
Once I specifically made sure I could watch shows like Beyond 2000. Back then I was young and hopeful. Now I am old and angry I just feel bitter that I still don't have my sex robot... eh flying car. I have come to realize that most of the World of the Future stuff just isn't practical.
I mean, a weather widget on a window? What is it going to tell me, what the weather looks like outside? I am not interested enough to pay for an expensive screen, the cost of installing it and for that matter getting up to check. I just look at the cat. sprawles on the kitchen floor (hot), on the window sill huddled up (okayish), buried with the wife in a pile of blankets on the bed (nice and brisk (ducks pillow thrown at him) sorry cold).

Hello personal data!
You probably wouldn't be able to see clearly through the window anymore after using the touchscreen display.
Well, I heard dogs don't understand pointing, so they'll do exactly that (look at the finger).
Especially since the former is nonsense anyway. A finger is a remarkable piece of natural engineering, the moon is just a lump of rock caught in the gravity of a larger lump of rock. I suppose whoever came up with that "insightful" snippet also thought Leonardo an imbecile for making a study of human anatomy when he could have been out studying granite?
The display looks like it's running the Enlightenment window manager. Samsung is a known, perhaps the biggest, sponsor of the Enlightenment project, which they probably use in some hardware already shipping now.
A bit more googling would have told you Konfabulator was created to add back the widgets features into OS X that people loved from OS9 created by Apple!

... if, instead of just appearing to be a window from the outside, you could project scenes of your own choosing to the outside world. The possibilities for mischief tantalize.
I know that a big translucent touch sensitive screen floating in the room is visually stunning, but has anyone thought of the consequences of having to use one for any long period? Waving your arms around and having your arm elevated for longer than a few seconds is hard on the shoulders.

Wow! Instead of looking out the window to see what the weather is like we can now look at the icon on the window to see what the weather is like. I think that soon we will replace windows with video monitors and cameras anyway. It would result in more security and less energy use. I can just see people with ocean views living far away from the oceans. All we need is a monitor that will last a hundred years or so.
Imagine if they could make one of these seamless and large enough to cover the entire space of a full wall window. I could see this being a nice alternative to a dry-erase board in a school, where the desks all face the big windows and the teacher can type things on a handheld keyboard then just drag them around the display. The kids would be looking out the windows all day, seeing natural sunlight instead of a board lit with florescent lighting.
I wonder how it works at sunrise and sunset, when the sun is setting and everything turns orange, I wonder how much that would affect the color?
If the sun were to line up with the window, could the lcd polarize the light enough to block out the sun to protect the eyes of the person using it? As in, how effective are those blinds? If extra polarization were required, how much would that affect the image on the screen?
Would a transparent photo-voltaic film be able to power the whole screen if it were built in?
If it truly is one-way, imagine having one of these in the shower, pull up an article or a video and maybe have some kind of head tracking so the item you're looking at will move with your head.
I've always wanted something like this. Eventually I can have a house with a huge open facing digital window system like this and project places other than my neighbors. Suddenly I can have a beach front home!
"Hey guys, let's all link to Wikipedia when you can't access it without being a huge faggot."
Also, you're a huge faggot.
I didn't see anything about energy efficiency - or how well this "window" compares to modern windows with holding in heat. There are also other issues like trapped moisture (and the resulting mold), which would be far worse to see in this kind of window. Wouldn't think it would be too hard to lay it on top of your existing windows, to get the best of both worlds, but then you're still dealing with the cost of both (and good windows are not cheap).
My daughter is currently in an urban design class. She has severe dyslexia so I read the materials to her, which gives me some familiarity with all her classes. The architects featured in this class seem to be most concerned about the usefulness of the perimeter of buildings, wanting us to abandon flat featureless walls for the porches and doors and windows -- permeability, they called it -- that were popular before WWII. Although I disagree with some of their philosophies, (I am violently opposed to brutalism, for instance) I agree with this.
So a horror slideshow from their standpoint would be commercial and private buildings with utterly blank walls that end flatly against the property, isolating the residents inside and making the space outside useless except for traveling away from the hulking building. And sadly, there are many examples of that, both for commercial businesses and for private residences.
It occurs to me that technology like this would make that type of design even more likely. If you could put a "window" anywhere, showing any type of scene, what do you care what's actually outside? [1] I know, you can sit this on top of a real window, but I wonder how often that will be done in real life? In an age where all the up and coming adults have been trained since grade school to live with ear buds inserted and head lowered to a 4" display, what chance do us old fogeys who remember fresh air and open views, have, to convince them that houses should have access to the outdoors?
[1] Except, I suppose, from a security standpoint, although there's hardware and software solutions for that.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
Actually, Apple didn't steal it. Jobs licensed it from Xerox in exchange for Apple stock.
(Apple also improved on it because the Xerox Alto didn't have overlapping windows ,and Woz came up with regions to handle updating overlapping windows. Woz subsequently got in a plane crash (in his Piper) and told Jobs (who visited him in the hospital) that he still knew how to do regions. Later, when Woz talked to Xerox, he found out that no, they didn't handle overlapping windows at all. So Woz got a patent on it)
Now we can finally see what the weather's like by looking at a window!
Really, of all the applications they could have chosen for the main picture, they pick a weather forecast?

iTunes.
People seem to be missing the fact that this is damn cool and instead are posting inane offtopic rants about Apple vs Samsung, the widget design (is it really relevant compared to the tech?) and even SOPA.
I think this would be really cool somewhere like the shower if it could be made waterproof. I do a lot of my thinking there, solving programming problems, etc. Having a screen that I could touch and draw on would be really useful.
Essentially this is getting into the realm of smart glass everywhere. It could be put on mirrors to let you 'try on' outfits before you wear them, it could be on oven/microwave doors to display cooking information (I'm a metrics geek) and the list goes on. You could also just have a pane of glass stuck onto a wall - a truly invisible. When you turn it off, it just looks like the wallpaper. Just because it's on a window doesn't mean it *has* to be on a window outside - the technology, to me, is a transparent display which is much more interesting.
PS - the whole point of a weather forecast is that it's a forecast. You look out of your kitchen window and the display tells you what it'll be like in 6 hours including the temperature. Weather widgets are no more pointless on a window than they are in every single smartphone that seems to tout them.
And yes, ambient light may be a issue, but it would still work where you just needed some differentiation between background and stuff on top. Remember that to see your walls they have to reflect light - you're just blocking it. Same goes for mirrors.
I don't think you would want one to replace your window, but one mounted just inside it would be awesome. Windows are often subject to extreme temperature differences, moisture, dirt, and stresses. You wouldn't want to have to call in a building contractor to replace it when it breaks. Not to mention, windows also need to have good heat and sound insulation, which are probably not going to be provided by a display.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.

If you compare weather widgets before and after the iphone, you can clearly see that everyone is copying Apple's design.
Look at how similar Samsung's is to Apple's today, and compare that to the common design before the iPhone.
That's a nice story, without any actual facts in it. Woz had nothing to do with the Mac project at all and was still involved on Apple II while the Mac was being worked on . The overlapping windows concept, achieved by clipping windows, was created by Dan Engalls, from Xerox on SmallTalk, long before Jobs and Co walked in their door. http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taouu/html/ch02s05.html
Apple managed to duplicate this through the efforts of of few engineers on the Mac team, who actually came over from Xeorx PARC.
Additionally, Raskin was the key driving force behind the Mac at Apple before Steve Jobs even knew the project was being worked on. Jobs is credited with a hell of a lot of things that he really had very little to do with, until the project was already well underway (and yes I know this is beyond the scope of your comment). He did have a great eye for simplification but he was also a complete arsehole of a human being and routinely took credit for other people's work. He didn't actually invent the iPod, the iPhone, the Mac, the Apple I or II, etc, etc. About the only thing that was his from the start was the Lisa. Read the Biography by Walter Isaacson: it's a fascinating read about a complex human being who wasn't actually a very nice person, wasn't technically proficient himself at all yet still does deserve a lot of credit (but no where near as much as he does get) for many things we know and love about computers today.
Why would anyone want retarded shit like this? I mean, seriously? Who has windows this small? How much would it cost if it were the size of a real window? And even if it was remotely affordable, why? It will never be as good as a window at light transmission, and it will never be as good at showing images as a real display.
Great links. Thanks!
Don't be apathetic. Procrastinate!
Because the view through the window will totally tell me what the weather will be like tomorrow!
