Virtual keyboard could soon become a real Bashny.Net

Today, we are always online and practically integrated into the virtual world. Kinnect and Wii allow you to use our whole body into the physical plane, and Google Glass and similar products soon discover a whole new world for all.

As soon par with these products on the market will be released quite unusual virtual keyboard, created by researchers at the MDH . This new device, using the latest technology, make completely changed world to work at a computer or laptop.

Virtual technology of the future. This device allows you to be accessible everywhere, even without a mobile phone, tablet or computer. We have already conducted research and developed the technology, and now want to continue to develop prototypes. To do this, we need funds, which are often a major challenge for research and development. Blockquote>, says Professor Emeritus Lars robotics Asplund .

Research project, which provides the basis for further development underway since 2005. In 2013, these studies were completed, and it was found that the technology must have accessory to create a virtual space. At the moment, such a solution would be Google Glass. The keyboard consists of two bracelets, which are placed around the wrist or hand. After it reads the position sensor and finger movement thus can set what buttons are pressed, while the user sees a keyboard, for example, Goggle Glass. Also, these bracelets will function as a computer mouse, primarily as control gestures.

Keyboard today looks almost as well, and works almost as well as typewriters and 19th century. Our virtual keyboard offers a new form of interaction and the free hand position, thereby reducing the DC voltage in your hands. Blockquote>, says Lars Asplund.

There are many applications of this device, as in business for private use. Can be used in small spaces, such as an interview to a journalist is not recorded on tape and did not take a laptop or tablet. Also, this device is recommended for those who want to avoid ergonomic problems we face using a normal keyboard and mouse. However, in order to realize all your dreams to create this keyboard into reality requires a lot more money.

This project has great potential and can be completed within a year, but we need another 10-15 million. Kronor ($ 1, 5-2 million) for the design, manufacture and launch of the first series of products on the market blockquote > says Lars Asplund.
