A beautiful but creepy vision of the “smart glass” future

Materials mnufacturer Corning put together a futurist video last calendar month yell “ A daytime Made Of Glass , ” which has spiraled into stratospheric popularity on YouTube . The premise of the telecasting is that we ’re about to live in an era of omnipresent touchscreens ( made with glass ) and overbold windows ( made of glass ) as well as appliances like stoves which are also made with glass .

What ’s striking about the telecasting is mostly how we see the touch screens working , and the way the mobile devices seamlessly web with home appliance , telly , and pliable flat concealment calculator . There ’s also a very paranoia - inducing , panopticon notion to what we ’re see . As one person take the air along , we see giant pictures of her ( or her embodiment ? ) jump up the walls of buildings . And when she walk into a depot , she ’s shown pictures of herself in the clothes she might want to test on . A world made of crank may promise easy information access , but it also seems to be a creation where everybody is always looking at themselves and each other to an alarming point .

Still , I would n’t say no to some of this technical school . specially the interface where you plunk your phone down onto a surface and it directly networks with it and allows you to get a big screen variant of the data on your Mobile River .
