FlexViewer — The shape of things to come?

I fell into a wormhole and when I came out the other end I was holding one of these nifty flexible screens.

Then I woke up.

Or did I?

She wrote, "The screen is flexible and deformable and can be rolled up like a papyrus scroll. The product combines physical and functional flexibility: different FlexViewer strips can be attached to give an extended view of up to 360°, which is very rewarding in gaming, for example."]
