Farelf Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 ...113 keys, each with an embedded 48x48 pixel OLED screen each key (display) programmable, show a character, display a clock, link a display to an application/function Ah, but this one is available now and no amount of use is ever going to wear the key contacts or mar their surfaces. Next stage would be to build display and finger position sensors into contact lenses (or grafted into corneas) to implement a 3D virtual keyboard/tablet/monitor only the user could see. Using that and talking on a bluetooth connection would present a picture remarkably like that of the stereotypical wizard. Clarke's third law I guess - having it enacted between living generations on the same planet would really be something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farelf Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 And then there's the keyboard for "real programmers" http://www.geeks3d.com/public/jegx/200808/...-real-coder.jpg Just the thing for those who wear the titles off their keys ('specially the deluxe model - not pictured - with the textured 'home' key). Heck, it even has a "1". Thanks to Ed Metcalf at grc.test for spotting this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
