Look ma! No Keyboard!
I referenced a virtual monitor a few blogs ago - well here is an almost released virtual keyboard to match. Just beams it onto the desk and a laser scopes out your finger movements. This technology is really here, not like the monitor, and supposedly has "similar response to a real keyboard" they say, but that is bunk, because the mechanical feedback and pressure of a keyboard, and the click or lack of click have always been important to keyboard quality. Nevertheless, it would be maintenance free, coffee spills would not hurt it, and other devices besides computers come to mind as well. PDAs, game stations, cell phones(?) and people might even accept those tablet computers if they had a virtual keyboard.
