Virtual keyboard - M.Helen - 05-21-2008
A new interesting gadget appeared on the market. It’s a kind of thing which projects through laser the keyboard on the table and you can connect it via bluetooth to the computer and use it. It must be very comfortable, as you can adjust it for your way of writing, shape of hands etc.
Here’s a picture

I don't understand how it works, if the laser projects it on the table, then it will project it on your hands when you want to type something, logical, no?

generally, the future of "contacting" the computer is touch-screen, forget about mouses and keyboards. So this invention is closing us to the future.

It's a great invention for the lazy ones. Imagine, you can stay in your bad and control your computer by pressing on the "bed".
Re: Virtual keyboard - Faw_Peter - 07-07-2008
yes, but all the technologies which are nowadays inveted tend to make us lazzier, whether we want it or not!
Re: Virtual keyboard - Terry - 07-09-2008

Awesome! I did write an article about this Virtual keyboard in my technology/gadget blog.
This is a sophisticated product, which is higly suitable for those lazy people :lol:
Re: Virtual keyboard - Benn - 07-31-2008
I wouldn't say it's just for the lazy ones. It is recommended for those who get bored very quickly with the chair or armchair they are sitting on. Thus, they can accomodate themselves in the way they want.

This can refer to two different types of technology.
The most common type is an onscreen keyboard. You push the keys either with your mouse, or if you have a touch screen you press the keys with your fingers directly on the screen. (most smart phones have virtual keyboards to type on the screen with your fingers).
Onscreen keyboards are “virtual” because they are not physical keys, they are images that you touch or click on.
Onscreen virtual keyboard on a smartphone:
The second type of virtual keyboard are projection keyboards.
A device projects colored light onto a surface and than you “touch” the light. A reader tracks where in the light you touch and translates it as you touching a key that only exists as a projected image.
