Can we ever expect to be able use these sort of displays with FreeBSD?

I didn't watch it all the way through, but at the end he says "potentially transparent".People would soon realise that having a transparent monitor would have little use. You would have to place it in front of a very blank (preferably white) wall, to be able to make out any of the text on it.

Sure, I was really talking about the whole monitor being transparent, not having a terminal that shows the root window as the background. One that you can see the other side of the room through, like they show off in the video. It probably looks good in the exhibition hall for novelty value, but I can't really see the practical value. Maybe I'm just old-fashionedI have a large monitor, 32" and for my workflow, it's often useful, e.g, several terminals and a web browser open. As for the transparent stuff---when I had younger eyes, I would run fluxbox with a transparent terminal on moderately dark, bluish I think, background...
