Halo Keyboard.
« on: Sat, 01 October 2016, 12:30:18 »
A new bread of computers would emerge? or it is just a new sort of technological experiment that would not last but a few months?

You have seen it already, probably, or it may be something new for you; either way, your touch typing skills may be test to their limits with this new thing:



An interesting side note, is what those home bars would be of benefit for? Home bars in a virtual keyboard? well, you should live to see.

Is that 'iBook', and from Lenovo? Surprised Apple hasn't said something about it. And yea the home bar symbols are amusing :D

This is one of those things that looks cool in pictures but is horrible to use as you'd be constantly watching where you're putting your fingers since there is no tactile feedback.

I'm still waiting for those touchscreens where you can feel whatever is on the screen to come to market. Saw videos of the tech several years ago but I guess it's not easy to mass produce.

Hopefully let's say 10 years now we are typing on laptops or tablets configured to feel like a nice Topre keyboard. ;D

Laptop manufacturers seem to want thinner and thinner keys but I don't understand why. I get the desire to keep on innovating but I don't think making the keyboards thinner and thinner (and overall worse feeling) is the way to go :(

I think this is the way to go.

However,  it STILL has to be tentable,  otherwise the ergonomic is still problematic.

When you have to turn your wrist to meet a flat surface,  there is simply too much pressure.

Theres like two lenovos

One lenovo is the giant that bought up IBM

One LENOVO is some misc chinese company that released ripoffs/chinese copy of pretty decent high tech stuff of okay quality but generally poorly documented instructions or unstable beta drivers/firmware
