You basicly move your pen around the virtual keyboard rather than tapping.

I think It's a brilliant idea since you will never have to lift your pen which shows down typing the most.

There is an alpha avaliable for download on the site.

Yeah it sounds really good. We might start seeing them in a few years (hopefully).

Or you could use a pen and paper.

Did you RTFA? It's not like you write the letters or anything. It's completly different to pen and paper.

I like this new 'light projected' keyboard the best.

Doesn't look much like writing to me.

I don't see how that is going to be any faster.

It's not supposed to be like writing.

It just removes the need to move your pen off the tablet.

If you're going to pick up a pen, you might as well write NORMALLY.

what if writing normally isn't the most efficient way to write?

A keyboard with lcd panels as keys so it can 'morph' for different needs.

unfortunely it is NOT real, those are computer generated photos

I net that using this your hand gets tired, and then you get frustrated with the slow input, and then want a keyboard back.
