Researchers have created a potential keyboard competitor. A headset that is worn, which picks up sound (?) and electrical signals from the jaw area, with a resolution of 20 unique signals. Testers have been able to communicate chess game moves "silently" with an accuracy of around 92%. Researchers seem optimistic that N > 20 in the future.
This reminds me of a relevant HackerNews discussion about biological interfaces a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16727719 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16727719
I am so happy to see progress in this area. While we're still some ways away from replacing keyboards, this seems like a huge step in the right direction. AFAIK, a vocabulary size of 20 for inconspicuous communication is unheard of, but if this has been done elsewhere, please share links!
