Death of the Keyboard: Laser-Guided Typing

The article was all about how virtual keyboards are upon us, and are soon to be taking over for the "bulky and breakable " keyboards we have now. Soon to be replaced by lasers and sensors, the Celluon Magic Cube is among the first wave of virtual keyboards to hit the market, a device that projects keys of light on to any flat surface, interprets your finger-tapping and sends each p and q to any Bluetooth device.

Along with the article there is a video available to watch. Aatma Studios in San Francisco took this new reality to an obvious fantasy with a video mock-up to the mythical iPhone 5 (just one of the sources to later break my heart with the iPhone 4s), using laser projection to make keyboards and thumb typing obsolete, so get right on that Apple.

The whole article was really interesting to watch, and to see how advanced we are getting with our technology. I think this is a good example of information technology and the way that we are moving so fast in a more virtual world. One thing that i hope to find an article on is the see through phone i believe is released in Japan.
