looks awesome. it's a regular glass fronted tablet that when the keyboard comes on the display the flat glass raises up and has buttons.

It's obviously not a glass screen. In order for the dimples to appear, the screen must be pliable.
hard and clear screen, who knows what it is made of. I'm just introducing the article, not writing a paper.
Well nowhere in the article does it mention "glass", so it was you that introduced that into the equation.
Plus the screen doesn't look particularly hard. The guy says the effect is caused by controlling a fluid layer in the screen, so the screen is probably softish plastic with a hard backing.
This may be one of those things where we look back on this thread in five years and can't believe how naieve we were because they're everywhere or we may never see it again.
