http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2010/01/froot_concept_computer_projection.jpgWith the environment and sustainability firmly in mind the Dell Froot concept saves the planet courtesy two projectors: One for the virtual keyboard, and another for the monitor.
Designed by Pauline Carlos as part of a sustainability contest sponsored by Dell, the Froot also uses a colorful case that's constructed out of a biodegradable starch-based polymer. As it's a futuristic concept, the lack of a mouse is understabdable—we'll no doubt be using our brains by then.
More seriously, Pico projectors (http://gizmodo.com/tag/picoprojectors/) are *almost* there, but not quite, otherwise I'd be asking why this is still just a concept.
