Very pretty, and I love the idea, but the video implies to me that erasing might be difficult. Note how much they had to wipe to erase brand new writing. Either that's a bunch of grooves, or it's just a fair bit harder to erase than e.g. a normal whiteboard.

Use an old (red!) marker. Leave it on for a month. Then erase it and show me it erases well (with alcohol cleaners is fine, whatever works). That's real world use, not write-now, erase-in-seconds. Until then, I trust nothing but glass to actually erase, and have yet to see anything but glass beat standard whiteboards.



I know of at least one temporary dry erase surface that works well. It's a 3M dry erase "sheet" that comes in rolls. You can buy it from American science and surplus: http://www.sciplus.com/search.cfm/scategory/SFM/term/whitebo...

I have a 6' x 10' surface of it on my bedroom wall, and it works great, even for erasing old marker.
