Imagine you have a list of wines you want to try, or used books you’re hoping to buy.
In the store you open your phone and scan the shelves with your camera and if it finds any matches from your lists, it shows you them on the screen.

I have the UHD display and the type is a bit small, but the scaling works well.
The only thing that is a little flaky is the fingerprint reader. The battery, with Ubuntu, is not great, but fine for my uses.
Links to two studies which place the number of times you must reuse a cotton bag between 130-7100 times.
I could draw my calendar on the left, the weather in one corner and todo list in another.
Although I seem to remember reading that the vending machine never worked as well as the inventor said.
One of the redbubble links is not even indexed yet in my google search and the other is not a red triangle, but a flag in a triangle.
In case anyone is interested, if you open the console there are some instructions for scripting your own drawings.
(p.s. Thanks for all the suggestions)
It's fairly easy to roll your own version of this and do analysis.

It's interesting to see the same ideas pop-up over and over again. (Note the patent-pending message is a joke).
