The projected keyboard

No words can adequately describe quite how breathtakingly cool the i.Tech Virtual Keyboard is. Bluetooth enabled, it uses infrared to project a clear and crisp keyboard onto your desktop, and then transfers your keystrokes via wireless networking to your PDA, Pocket PC or smart phone - it sounds far too futuristic to be true. But it's very much for real, and it's awesome.It's highly portable as well, though it will make you look a bit of a lunatic at the local, as you will look like you're typing on nothing more than the pub table (which also raises some serious health and safety concerns), and you will of course be interrupted every fourteen seconds with someone coming over and wanting to know where they can get one.

There is no keyboard like this in the whole universe.

This 22nd Century gadget is about half the size of your average deck of cards, sits wirelessly on any flat surface, and projects a red standard QWERTY-layout keyboard on any flat opaque surface. The projected keyboard is highly visible even in strong light (though it does of course look spectacularly cool in the dark).

Yeah, this little item only... (Below threshold)

Yeah, this little item only "made the scene" about a year ago. It does NOT "uses infrared to project a clear and crisp keyboard onto your desktop", it uses a red laser to do that. It uses infrared to detect the position of your fingers.

Combined with a similarly miniature projection screen system, you could turn your cellphone into a full-sized computer workstation.

Link? Picture? Anything u... (Below threshold)
