Researchers at ASU, including Win Burleson and Byron Lahey, have developed a revolutionary new flexible paper computer. The paper computer uses a flexible E Ink display and the prototype they made is of a smart phone. The flexible display allows for many gestures that aren't possible on a rigid device. For example, the corners can be bent to flip a page or the entire screen can be bent in or out to zoom a page.
If the technology is refined a little more, it could be truly revolutionary. Flexible screens can be put in clothes, appliances, phones, and just about anywhere else.
