it looks really bad quality there, good idea though

[Evil Fish]

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

/me would be lost without concaveness

but it is pretty fuckin cool :P

[Mr. Elmo]

wouldnt that take away the portableness of a pda?

[muchspl2]

lasers are pretty light
pun unintended

[Mr. Elmo]

yea, but you need a solid or flat surface in order for it to work

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 :D

I saw this on TechTv a while back, they said it seemed to work pretty well, but at that time it wasn&#39;t finished. However, I don&#39;t think I would like it, without the kickback of the keys, I think I&#39;d have trouble typing.

:o that looks tight
probably has it&#39;s flaws like every other thing, but it looks like it could be good in a few years when they perfect it

You project it on girlfriend and give her a massage at the same time as writing to your other girlfriend
