This article is pretty much talking about how a Swiss designer called Florian Kräutli created a vibration keyboard. This keyboard uses Vibrative Virtual Keyboard it uses accelerometer on the iPhone 4 to sense the tremors of the finger tapping the table. He says that it could be use on any solid surface. But as they see the demo it seems like a lot of pressure is needed to press the key to allow the phone to detect it. Even thought this is only the prototype, he say he is still working on it and will publish it as soon as his done.
Major Concept
- It shows that our technology have been developing a lot.
- He is trying to show a wireless non solid keyboard that is projected on a solid surface to be able to type.
- To show more ways for people to use smartphone more consistently.
- More convenient for people who travel a lot.
- Easier for people to type while using a smartphone.
- It's not that easy to press the buttons.
- The sensory of the object isn't as good as it suppose to be.
- How does this actually work, even reading the article I am still confused.
- Why is it hard to put a projector on a smartphone to create the same effect but easier.
