I saw this keyboard sometime back and thought it was sweet. It was just a vision then but it looks as if it will become reality so I thought it would be nice to pass a little "computer envy" your way. Can you imagine, a keyboard that everykey is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment.
Think about the possibilities. You decide to play a game and the keys change to enhace your gaming experience or you run an application like Photoshop and all the user controls appear for you to seamlessly create your artwork. Pretty cool!
The possibilities are endless in deciding how this keyboard will be used. I would expect that if it makes it, it will change the way we interface with computers forever. Imagination is the only thing that can limit this device....
When will it be available? Maybe next year...only time, patents and all the other legalise will tell. You can visit the
Optimus site here.
........and by the way,
STOP drooling!
