(Anand, 2013). Currently computer scientist have been working on 3D computer screens that react to the users hand moving behind the monitor display (BBC, 2013). The 3D monitor screens enable users to reach in, touch and interact with the objects inside the display. They believes the 3D screens will breakdown boundaries and make the digital experience feel more real.
