Title: Who has a Google Glass? Imagine the perfect wearable keyboard?
Post by: menuhin on Thu, 27 October 2016, 09:17:30

I have been following a bit the news of technologies in wearable computing.

Has someone here tried out the Google Glass?
It is for sure voice-command based.

Can there be a capable mobile / wearable keyboard that pairs well with it? That at least does not need a solid platform to hold the input device when one uses it.
Here are some candidates:

Never tried Glass, but I doubt there's a good keyboard solution for that. As much as I hate virtual keyboards, I don't think there's a really solid solution for physical keyboards to carry around outside of 60% which is still far from portable. I think the next best thing would to have a phone tie-in like all the watches have.
