The Future of Surface Technology?

Corning Incorporated, the “world leader in specialty glass and ceramics,” released a promotional video this month showing some interesting future uses of glass and surface technologies.

The video is titled, “A Day Made of Glass” and walks you through a family’s interactions with very cool surface technologies. Some examples are:

Bedroom

• Photovoltaic Glass (as bedroom walls)
• LCD Television Glass (current technology)

Bathroom

• Architectural Display Glass (interactive bathroom mirror)

Kitchen

• Architectural Surface Glass (kitchen countertop and stove)
• Appliance Veneer Glass (refrigerator door)

Car

• Automotive Display Glass (replaces entire dashboard, looks distracting and dangerous?)
• Automotive Design Glass (sunroof panel)
• Large Format Display Glass (replacing road signs?)

City

• All-Weather Surface Glass (placed throughout cities)

Work

• Wall-Format Display Glass (building walls)
• Work-Surface Display Glass (interactive touchscreens like the Microsoft Surface)
• Flexible Display Glass (tech we’ve been waiting to adopt)

See the video for yourself below. Which of these technologies do you think will be adopted widely?
