    Or just see-through screens in general is so pervasive in futuristic depictions in media. They seem so impractical to me.

      From a cinematic perspective, it makes a lot of sense. You can see the actors/actresses, and what they are interacting with, at the same time. With a more traditional touchscreen, you’ve got the problem that you’re looking at the back of someone’s head, and the head also tends to block the screen. Plus of course there’s the whole futuristic part of it too.
