Posted on 03/02/2010 10:42:21 AM PST by Niuhuru

When it comes to computer technology, thin is always in. It’s indisputable that the thinner, lighter, clearer, the better when dealing with the latest computer gadget. This keyboard is the epitome of the high standards expected of the technological version of the fashion industry. It’s based on image as well, that is, image recognition technology.

Fooling aside, keyboards in hospitals are a big germ collecting headache. This seems like an ideal solution.

My question is WHY?

Just because you can, does not mean you should.

Great, a keyboard that has to be on a white surface to see the letters. Or, I could read a book while I was typing? Or better, I could put it on my monitor so I can browse while typing??

GREAT!!! A keyboard that won't get ruined when you spill coffee on it.

A keyboard that can be cleaned ... sterilized ... with common household cleaning agents.

I suppose you're not a fan of electronically controlled gas pedals on Toyotas either ;)

// My question is WHY? //

So us geeks can drool and dream of one day owning it.

No really, this being developed is probably a step in the direction of interacting with your computer without a physical keyboard. Instead of having a keyboard, you just set up a little camera with a projector on any flat surface and it displays a keyboard, where you can type. (I’ve seen it, done, but I don’t think it’s for sale yet). Much more mobile computer if able. .

We’re not talking about drugs or sex, it’s about a new design that will likely sell well since geeks LOVE the latest technology.

They keyboard layout itself is the real problem, attempts to create a redesign of the layout have been successful with layout shown to increase comfort and efficiency.

Problem has always been the adoption of the redesigns, they are at the whim of the familiarity of the ubiquitous old qwerty layout.

Actually, it’s so you can put it up against the windscreen
of your car to avoid accidents while texting.

It will be an end to the incessant “You Owe Me A New Keyboard”, after someone posts a good joke.

Bingo!

No tactile feedback? No thanks.
