Future of Tablet and Computer Paper Tab

Plastic Logic,Queen University and Intel® Labs are conjointly develop thin,flexible,plastic touchscreen display at the Human Media Lab at Queens University in Ontario, Canada
Paper Tab  features a flexible, high-resolution and fully interactive 10.7-inch(27.2-cm) plastic touchscreen display built by Plastic Logic,and relies on a second-generation Intel Core i5 processor which is housed in an outdoor unit, that connects to all or any of the Paper Tabs

Instead of using several application or windows on a single display, users have ten or more interactive displays or “Paper Tabs”: one paper tab for one app.

Paper Tab ( Img Source : Human Media Lab)

The Paper Tab file and display thousands of paper documents, replacing the need for a computer monitor and stacks of papers or printouts. Unlike traditional tablets, Paper Tabs keep track of their location relative to each other, and the user, providing a seamless experience across all apps, as if they were physical computer windows. For example, when a PaperTab is placed outside of reaching distance it reverts to a thumbnail overview of a document, just like icons on a computer desktop. When picked up or touched a Paper Tab switches back to a full screen page view, just like opening a window on a computer.

How it Work:
To fast-forward or rewind a video, simply bend the top corners of the tablet.
To see a picture in a bigger frame, the user can put two Paper Tabs next to each other, and theyre smart enough to create one big picture.
Even when two Paper Tabs are "attached," since everything is editable, It is easy to drag and drop icons or objects from one Paper Tab to the other.
To flip through pages in a book or article, one can fold your Paper Tab in half or curl the right side
Emails can be sent simply by bending the top corner of the tab
By bending one side of the display, users can navigate through pages like a magazine without needing to press a button.
