so a friend of mine showed me this so i thought i would share with you all :) Hope you like cuz i know i do....might buy one sometime next year.
Remember when you were promised all those amazing future tech innovations? Just around the corner was supposed to be a shining technology utopia with flying cars, personal space travel to distant galaxies, and bio-implantable cell phones. It's almost disappointing enough to make you sit at home and watch old episodes of "Space 1999". Don't lose hope! An amazing glimpse of this promised future has just arrived at ThinkGeek in the form of the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This tiny device laser-projects a keyboard on any flat surface... you can then type away accompanied by simulated key click sounds. It really is true future magic at its best. You'll be turning heads the moment you pull this baby from your pocket and use it to compose an e-mail on your bluetooth enabled PDA or Cell Phone. With 63 keys and and full size QWERTY layout the Laser Virtual Keyboard can approach typing speeds of a standard keyboard... in a size a little larger than a matchbook. Product Features

Re: Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard (check this out)
i actually played with one of those not too long ago. it's pretty slick, but really just as a geek toy and not for functionality. it needs to be on a completely flat surface for all the keys to work. and even then, you're just tapping on a table, there's no feedback like a keyboard would give. also, depending on how you hold your hands, if you block the sensor some of the keys won't register. don't expect to use this on a magazine or in your car, you'll need a completely flat table or something rigid.
a very interesting bit of technology, but it still has a little bit to go before it can be used to replace a real keyboard (though for a PPC device it's not terrible). |

Re: Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard (check this out)
I'd been waiting for a tread to pop up on this... read about it in popsci many years ago..
sounds like all my assumptions were correct... ie flat surface.. |
