Grippity: World’s first Transparent Tablet

Grippity is the world’s first transparent tablet. Isn’t the word “transparent” grab your interest? Let’s learn more!

The new design centers on a transparent, dual-sided touch surface, but there’s now more to do than type. The PS Vita-style back control lets users tap interface elements without obscuring the screen, and it opens the door to more complex multi-touch gestures. The infrared remote control and thumbpads have also returned from Grippity’s previous incarnation.

Specifications:

  • Semi-Transparent 7″ LCD display 800X480. Upper 25% non-transparent for thumbs input.
  • Back sided capacitive multi-touch panel (approved patent)
  • Front sided capacitive multi-touch panel with extended programmable touch area (marked with 2 lit circles)
  • Android 4.2 (or 4.4 if available by then, spec allows it)
  • ARM processor – Cortex A8 512K RAM
  • IR transmitter to control TV’s and DVD’s.
  • SD card slot, Expandable up to 32GB
  • 4GB internal storage
  • Li-ion Battery, 2400 mA/h, 3 hours of constant use.
  • Wi-fi, Bluetooth

If you’re intrigued, you can pledge $235 ($159 for a few early birds) to Grippity’s Kickstarter campaign to reserve a tablet for yourself; provided the team reaches its funding goal, you should have the device in your hands by October.
