Virtual Keyboard.....hmmm.
- canuck0
looks rather silly, keyboards should be tactile

fuckipod.
Iwantoneofthose.

i think that has been around for awhile.
not sure where to buy it though.
i agree with the tactile comment.
just hook it to my brain.

yeah but say goodbye to cigarette burnts and coke candy dirt on the keyboards.
but usability should be tested, we ain't living minory report *yet.

okay, like most of us, I thought the virtual keyboard was pretty damn c00l too.
But then my friend today at the office saw it and said right away that it was fake!
I'm like, no way
so did some hunting and this was a bit more concrete
Israeli company's technology --

I might actually buy that. Cause then when I get pissed off and want to smash my keyboard I can... without actaully smashing my keyboard and costing me money. haha. But then I'd probably break my fists of furry and cost me money. So....

This thing is sick!
So, what's the deal - can you actually buy one of these or are they in the prototype stage only? I've never seen them in the shops. (at least in the US)

from what I gather........... the technology from VKB or whoever...... didn't really fly right the first time -- but then! Matsushita (aka Panasonic) became interested, and so I think they're the ones going to roll these babies out in due time..........
(so nothing in shops just yet)

i remember reading about this a couple years ago in a science magazine and was blown away, and now there it is!
way cool!
yes it's functional, and a good idea. might just take some time not having tactile response.

saw this concept a while back. nothing ever came of it as far as to general public sales. seems as if this thing would have to be tested and tested again etc. to actually get it to work proficiently. looks awesome, but i think it's going to be like voice recognition software....slow as...kona ( keyboard jumps up and swipes across kona's head. "take that biotch. you think you can take your anger out on me?!)
sorry, i'm tired

playing with this keyboard thing for a day or so... the delete key doesn't work which is quite annoying... going to try it at home this weekend... haven't really read the instructions properly.. so might be something I am doing wrong.
