[extropy-chat] TECH: Force field open air displays

This new technology of creating finger manipulable open air displays
seems to depend on ionization to alter the optical properties of air,
such that a sheet of blown ionized air will act as a projection screen.
The screen can also offer 'touch screen' image control capabilities, I
suppose through some mechanism similar to the electrostatic field used
in the theramin musical instrument. The Future is here!
