No words can adequately describe quite how breathtakingly cool this 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 Computer/Laptop - it sounds far too futuristic to be true. But it's very much for real, and it's awesome

This gadget is about half the size of your average deck of cards, sits wirelessly on any flat surface, and projects a red standard layout keyboard on any flat surface. Using detection technology it "watches" your fingers hit the key locations it has projected, and then sends the keystrokes through to your PC via Bluetooth.

The projected keyboard is highly visible even in strong light (though it does of course look spectacularly cool in the dark). 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 cooler keyboard in the known universe.

Well I dont know what other people think but personally I like it, Its a nice colour the effect is nice and its not to rough... But the thing the lights coming from looks like a mobile phone from the eighties (Unsure if I spelt it right).

Oh and I have one question.. Did you make this or find the image on the internet?

This looks really cool.

Any idea of how much it will cost or do you have a link to an article about it?

Here's a link where you can buy this beauty:
http://www.innovativeaddiction.com/custome...il.asp?PrdID=48

The price is stated as 12999Rs (approx 333$s)
The Keyboard looks really awesome. You could use it on any surface. Imagine you could spread a soft velvet cloth on your tabletop and thump away. Really innovative

Some more images:




Another similar product called "The Cellulon CL850 Virtual Keyboard"






Another innovative but futuristic laptop I came across on the net:

Supposedly the entire computer consists of a couple of pens that double up as projectors. Cool eh??



Also take a look at somethingthat is currently available in the market -- A keyboard which allows us to customise all of it's keys even the standart qwerty keys!!! Ref-POS keyboard

This is very interesting, but I don't think it will replace my keyboard. It'd be extremely strange to try and touch type on that thing, and it just wouldn't be as comfortable for me banging my fingertips on a hard table and pressing wouldn't be as definite on a block of foam. But I'd really like it, though. When I change keymaps I might be able to actually see the keymap change! This would be great if I were using an emulator for a Commodore, or using a foreign keymap and my fingers get confused. Plus, It'd make it a great showpiece - one minute it's normal and then with the press of a key it changes to Greek or even Runes.

They've had this for quite a while. I don't think i'd like it too much.. I need some kind of reaction when i press a key... Right now if I accidently press a key next to the key I meant to press I can tell... I'm not sure about this. But i suppose that computers need to be getting smaller and they can't do that with bulky things like keyboards and screens anymore, so perhaps this is the future? Wait I've got an idea. How about we put a mini projector and a computer in a keyboard and you just put the keyboard on your lap and aim it at a wall. Now that would be an awesome computer. Just the keyboard! Aha! I think I'm going to make a topic about this under My Theories!

They've already got a keyboard that can do that. Its a regular keyboard with a mini lcd screen on each key. Here's a pic:


They've got function buttons which you can have application icons to launch them:


Looks pretty snazzy

I saw this on CSI miami, looks pretty cool but it would never replace my keyboard, it just wouldn't feel right unless my fingers are actaully pressing down on something, not tapping my desk. and touch typing would be a problem, because you won't feel the contour of the keys which alot of people use for touch typing... This is a good idea espiecially for business men/women who has those PDA/Laptops and with those really tiny keys, it'll also be a good gadget to show off at your local computer convention or something...

Keyboard looks nice but i will stick with my old keyboard. Typing on my desk will feel weird and i don't think i will be able to position my fingers on the home room that good.

I'm going to have to get me one of those, but i can't help but think you'll have sore fingers after tapping away for a while, I think it would get on my nerves after a while, if you have a laptop then there's absolutely no point in it, unless you want to look like an idiot.

If I still had my desktop then sure, this would be great for me! no more cleaning out my keys for dust etc, great for public places like school's or library's where the keyboards have had 100 people touching them, probably crawling with millions of germs. Sick!

Like I said, i'd love to have one but its just not practical.

Woah!, does this work by infared? Where your hand blocks the light and it picks that up?
My friend has something similar, it is cool!

This web-site has both the keyboard with the illuminated custom keys and the virtual laser one. Many others are listed on the page as well. Very nice web-site and good affiliate program smile.gif

There are videos on the product pages too, very neat!

    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
