PaperTab tablet that was developed at Queen's University in collaboration with Plastic Logic and Intel Labs have a form such as paper, especially with a flexible display with high resolution, 10.7-inch tablet-sized paper is coated with a special plastic developed by Plastic Logic. Not only is it versatile tablet is powered by an Intel Core i5 second edition.

Unlike a regular tablet, tablet paper can not do everything in one device only. paper tablet could only run one application at a time. You will need 10 or more paperTab to run many applications. Apparently it has not been practical, but likely this technology will continue to evolve in the next 5 to 10 years to be even better.

"Using multiple PaperTabs also will be easier to work with several different documents," said Roel Vertegaal, Queen's University Lab head. "In five or 10 years into the future, most computers, from tablets ultrabook to be shaped like this in the piece of paper."

Unlike traditional tablets, PaperTabs PaperTabs able to track the location between one and another. For instance, when a distance PaperTab placed outside his reach, he will turn it into a thumbnail icon of a document, such as a small icon on the computer desktop.

"These screens allow natural human interaction such as interacting with papers, lighter weight and thinner yet stronger than regular glass screens that available today."
