it looks really bad quality there, good idea though

that seems pretty cool, i'd imagine your hands would cast too much shadow for it to be totally effective though

I was thinking that too, I mean if its going on where your hand breaks the laser beam, than everyone where you would reach over a key it would type too?

Also, how is it sensing what you do? Its projecting it on a carpet, the laser that is it putting out isnt exactly being refelected back to show what parts of it are trapped by movement from your hands.

from what people have said from ces is even if your normal typer it takes 20 seconds to get the feel for it, also works for point and click typing
you can adjust the sensitivity and even make it click
