Anjan Katta thinks computers and the tech industry became too corporate and straitlaced—so he invented a tablet with a zippy monochrome screen that’s usable outdoors.
“Do you mind if I hug you?” asks Anjan Katta. This is not the usual way to wrap up a product demo, but given the product and its creator, I wasn’t really surprised. Katta, a shaggy-haired, bearded fellow, he’d shown up to the WIRED office in San Francisco dressed like he was embarking on a summertime mountaintop trek.
He also came across academic papers from the Netherlands, Germany, Florida, and especially one penned by a professor in Japan, whom he visited and wound up working with. Eventually, he had a prototype with what he now calls a Live Paper display, running at an impressive 60 frames per second, a pace that makes graphics look alive. And of course, it looks great in daylight.
