If it could actually work with present-day technology, it would be absolutely beautiful as a functional. However, it can't, which makes it not only a useless concept, but actually makes it pretty ugly. Face it, if your design concept relies on technology that doesn't exist, then the artistic concept better be ASTONISHING.

Take the iPhone for an example. It's a beautiful piece of design because it's also highly functional (and I aint no fanboy, my iphone is the first and only apple product I've ever bought). But if it looked as it did as a concept that didn't have working technology behind it, it'd actually be kind of ugly.

One problem is that our world is not always a monochrome shade of colour.

That device would have very poor ligibility with a real background.

I love irony.

Any device that's advanced enough to work in a shard of glass would've also outgrown a 20th c. GUI. If you call your mom on a glassy cellphone from the future, I doubt it's going to have those numbers and icons.
