After a week of wide release will a fantastic film "Living Steel" with Hugh Jackman in the title role. The film is set in the future, and on the screen, we repeatedly find familiar brands: Nokia, Xbox and Hewlett-Packard. On the first two while the official reports were not, but HP could not resist, and even before the premiere, described the concepts of devices that have been developed for the film.
The first instance was ThruScreen - ultra-thin display augmented reality. ThruScreen is a transparent touch screen display, designed for modeling objects. Behind the screen is placed a real physical object, its image is added to computer graphics, which moves with the object in real time and at any angle.
No less interesting is 3D-printer VolumeJet. Time to have to forget about printing pictures of flat quartered paper, it's remnants of the XX century, in the future will be output to print three dimensional objects. This is logical: the object is modeled on a computer ThruScreen - and then it "printed." For example, a piece for the robot, since the film tells the story of one of them.
The third concept is known as Curve, it is not representative of the family of smartphones BlackBerry, and L-shaped computer with a curved touch screen, a direct descendant of the present HP TouchSmart. The base machine interface is a stylus, which is used as an alternative "naked" means finger input. On such a computer would be easy to play, say, in the strategy.

And finally, the last instance is called Flex. This flexible laptop, with which the characters of the film control the robot during the match. As ThruScreen, this laptop is equipped with a transparent display through which you can look at the robot and find out its current state, a convenient means for monitoring the status of an iron soldier. It is hoped that the development of their actual HP products will follow in this direction.
