Touch Keyboard
Optimus Tactus Touch Keyboard -While we love
touch surfaces, as people who type hundreds of thousands a word each
week we know that there is a limit to them: keyboards. Like this
Optimus Tactus, an extruded shape/touch surface/keyboard concept by
Art.Lebedev. We really like the soon-to-be-released Optimus keyboard
Art but, seriously, how often do you type on your computer?
I can imagine that artists, musicians and video editors would likesomething like this... however, there are solid LCD tablet displays and
Tablet PCs on the market already. Experience shows that, for the time
being, it's a limited market. Further limiting it to a keyboard
replacement could be economically impractical at best, never mind how
practical this could be. The issue of the price is the other key here:
by the time a touch surface keyboard could be a commercial reality
coming from China via Moscow, touch computing from Apple and Microsoft
would be so ubiquitous that it won't make sense anymore.
