The device is known as the MagicScroll which encompasses a high resolution flexible display which can be either rolled or unrolled around the central and the 3D printed cylindrical body which contains the computerized the inner workings of the device.
The two rotary wheels at one or the other end of the cylinder allows the user for scrolling through information on the touch screen. Whenever the user narrows in one of the interesting piece of the content which they would like to examine it more deeply, the display can be easily unrolled and the function as a tablet display.
