Table Top Computer
I saw the concept in the Day in Glass video by Corning International. Its ancestor (not associated with Corning Glass) was the CRT monitor placed strategically under a desk with a heavy plate glass window through which one would view the image. That actually was a more practical idea.
Presumably, the magic desktop would be made with a super strong version of gorilla glass. The first Dimbo who dropped a heavy container of some sort on the table instantly would demonstrate why that wasn't as good an idea as one would think.
When the first jumbo jets took off in the 60's the hot item was the upper deck complete with grand piano and bar. Some innovations the world can do without. I have a feeling the conference room tabletop that doubles as a computer is another one of them.
