ABSTRACT

Transparent tablets have been introduced a lot of SF movies and the concept videos for future technologies. There have been researches on user interface for transparent mobile devices, but only a few researches on the implementation of the devices have been introduced. In this paper, we introduce how we develop our transparent tablet, which consists of a transparent LCD and Raspberry PI 2. This tablet is a mobile device, so that it should be small and light enough to be carried in everyday life. Furthermore, it should support the applications which run on the traditional tablets, and applications which are designed for the specific features of transparent tablets. The applications of transparent tablets are classified into three groups according to their adaptability: level 0, level 1, and level 2. The applications in "level 0" and "level 1" can provide unique services for transparent tablets, but applications in "level 2" should have the supports from hardware and system software. Applications in "level 1", such as drawing application, can be used for transparent tablets with "overlay" interaction without any modification by changing its usage scenario. Therefore, the development of usage scenarios for "level 1" and "level 2" will be the key point for the practical usefulness of transparent mobile devices.
