- melling 7y agoSure. Ideally the keyboard wouldn’t have to look exactly like a standard keyboard. It could be split, and perhaps tented. Found this Kickstarter project that’s now a company. http://serafim-tech.com/products/serafim-keybo-world-s-most-advanced-projection-keyboard.html http://serafim-tech.com/products/serafim-keybo-world-s-most-...
- LyndsySimon 7y agoInteresting, thank you for the link! I'm not at all interested in this as a keyboard per se, but the fact that it functions as a piano keyboard as well gives me ideas. I wonder if the latency and resolution would allow for things like automatic transcription of written documents as you write, a mouse replacement, or other cool things that I haven't thought of yet :) They claim they have an SDK. I'll have to explore this some more when I have time later this evening.
- johnday 7y agoOoh, how about this? 1. Point a camera at a surface (be it a piece of paper or whatever). 2. Write/print a word on that paper and use CV/OCR to parse it. 3. Detect when a person has pressed on that word and exec the command specified by the text. Instant macro pad?

- martin_a 7y agoI see, you thought the same as I did. :-D
- martin_a 7y agoIn my mind I can already see people running around with malicious code printed out and holding it in front of such devices in Apple stores or whatever.
