Good luck building the entire new infrastructure in 10 years. We are further away than 10 years for that.

You didn't say anything about infrastructure

It could be done now, on a single building basis. We could do it on our campus, given that we already have WiFi, Voip, and virtual machine infrastructure. Ontario Hydro has WiFi all over the downtown core, so maybe 10 square miles of downtown Toronto could be fitted out.

It's how the internet got started, after all; universities co-opting ARPANET.

I dont think that is 5-10 years away. Maybe more like 20.

For one youll need very small/powerful batteries, which our battaries are still pretty low tech.
Then youll need high tech displays probably led, that can also project off the screen. We just now got cheap/usable no glasses 3d screens.

And VERY small electronics. I think 45nm is standard for cpus and amd is working on like 20sum nm gpus. So 5-10 years from now i think it will be in reach but wont be avalible for another 5+ years

So here is how they are planning to do it. The glass is just that, glass. It's not the device. Projectors hidden everywhere to turn any surface into the device.

And: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
