The Datacloth combines a touch-screen, display, and computer build into a very flexible flat package. The Datacloth can be rolled up or folded into a smaller package. The large datacloth is 841mm by 1189mm (1-meter square), the smaller one is 210mm by 297mm. Other, less common, sizes are available. The datacloth computer is equivalent of a Hand Computer. The display and computer are solar powered with battery to last about an hour in darkness. The datacloth can be connected to other computers as needed to make for a larger, easily portable, display.
The datacloth is sealed, usable in a vacuum to 2 atmospheres, is unaffected by most atmospheric taints and is water resistant to 1 meter. Any tear or cut or hole in the cloth will destroy both the display and the interior computer.
