Idea for control panel button identification
arzoo:
In the near future, we may be able to use thin flexible LCD displays as panel overlays, or digital paper, or OLED buttons!
But for now, cp viewers or LED buttons w/voice are the best options.

You wouldn't necessarily have to go that route. You could always use images from CP apps like CPWizard. That would be better in my mind anyway because then it's customized for your CP layout.

Or E-Ink "paper" like the Kindle uses.

Oh come on, one of you stuck in the 80's, Chuck watching power geaks could easily find an old rear projection TV on Craigslist and transform that into what we are talking about here. ;D
Honestly, I would have absolutely NO intention of trying this, just thought it sounded cool and wanted to throw it out there. Now come on, someone get ambituous!

I love CPwizard. My reply was based on:
