Curved iMac Concept


Quote:
You don't have to venture very far to dig up unofficial concepts for Apple products of all sorts, but this one from designer Nuno Teixeira is certainly more attention grabbing than most, even if it isn't any more realistic. Dubbed the "iMac iView," the main distinguishing feature here is obviously the curved screen, which isn't actually all that far out there, but still a ways from becoming anywhere near commonplace. As if that wasn't enough, the concept also boasts a second screen on the rear (pictured after the break), and webcams on both the front and back, which would finally let you have impersonal conversations with the person sitting right across from you. Hit up the read link below for a couple more pics.
I see it as a possibility but it would be such a niche market that it wouldn't make a good business model. But hey! If the Alienware curved display is released.. I want that sh!t! AND you can't game on Macs. Hey for you graphic designers and movie editors: Would a curved display help you?

The iView Concept

curved monitors aren't far off, they already have a decent start on the paper.
