Eventually, users won't even have to touch the image of the photos or video to move them or activate them, Vara said. Instead, it will be done by gesture.

While he would expect the technology to be used in the home to show photos and video, Vara also said he envisions it being a useful technology in the enterprise, enabling workers to more easily in a meeting, for instance.

Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, said he can see this kind of technology being installed in a lot of offices.

"It should be pretty helpful... any time there's a working-together meeting," he added. "I'm not as impressed with moving them from screen to wall as I am with a capable common work area... This isn't a big piece of business, but if it's good, they'll have them in a lot of conference rooms."

Manny Vara, senior technology evangelist for Intel, demonstrates a new display technology the company's researchers are working on. He said the Display without Borders would make it easier for users and enterprises to share and collaborate on images and video.
