Well, technological progress isn't for everybody... I think it's rather neat to be able to turn pages, as it were, with a foot tap.

If this results in one frat guy hitting a tree then I'll consider the technology a success.

Bonus. Finally a thermostat. I designed a thermostat using segmented eink display 4 years ago. time to dust it off and see about getting them produced.... the snowboard is too showcase the idea and to show ruggedness. i understand they were letting people stomp on it at the show. where that display belongs it on the sleeve of a winter coat with the electronics package in pocket in the armpit area or . gps , elevation , weather updates etc for folks who lose their way or are in back country.

E-ink doesn't work quite as well in cold temperatures, making a snowboard an iffy choice of an demo application.

the segmented displays operate well at a lower temp than the active matrix displays
