Five things we saw at GITEX this year

Five things we saw at GITEX this year

Transparent screens got bigger, holograms got brighter, and every stand wanted the floor to do something. Notes from the show.

Transparent OLED is now available at sizes that make a whole wall of glass a screen, and the brightness finally holds up in daylight. Holographic fans are giving way to enclosed cylinders and boxes, which look better and survive a crowd. Interactive floors were everywhere. The best ones did one thing well rather than ten things badly. Robots on stands drew the crowds, and the ones that reacted to the people around them held them. And the quiet trend: clients asking for content they can change themselves, without calling anyone.
