This story has made the rounds at a few places. A new full sized virtual keyboard was demo-ed by Siemens at CeBIT that can provide virtually ANY device a full sized keyboard by projecting a light based (yep) keyboard onto a flat surface. Wow. This is truly amazing and useful. In terms of size and functionality and how they relate it is often the keyboard that causes problems, problem solved.

I called siemens, because on there website the only thing i could find was this text ( translated from dutch) "Virtueel keyboard for mobile phones and palmtops, this autumn in store." as i read in the Lan Magazine (also dutch), it would cost about $60. And a guy at siemens told me the product most likely has a an inovation status, and the were not sure if was already for sale.... They will come back to me on that.

Neat and innovative. I can only wonder how well it will work though, as the tactile "feel" will be very different from that of a regular keyboard. I guess we'll have to wait and see how well it really works when it's finally released.

I think this stuff is awsome. I would personally prefer the authentic feel of the original type, but this is still really cool. A real advancement in inovation. Keep up the great work you are all doing.
