Title: April Fool's from Google Japan!
Post by: Toxitron on Thu, 31 March 2016, 14:57:31

Google Japan just posted their 2016 April Fool's joke.
Somewhat similar to their 2015 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAgOnQqyDz0) release, it focuses on text input technologies.
Check it out:

"Today, we are proud to announce the new version of Google Japanese Input -- the Physical Flick Version."

The keyboard is actually flipping awesome! And I wish it were real, but the flick sensor is just hilarious! Nicely done Google.
