This looks like a neat device! Have to admit this would take some getting use to. But It sure beats trying to input information using a pecking device.
Call it typing the light fantastic.
Start-up Virtual Devices has developed a flashlight-size gadget that projects an image of a keyboard on any surface and lets people input data by typing on the image.
The company's Virtual Keyboard is designed for anyone who's become frustrated with trying to peck information into a handheld but doesn't want to schlepp a notebook computer around. It uses cameras to track the location of a person's fingers in relation to a map of a full-sized keyboard. A standalone version of the keyboard would cost between $100 and $150.

If it works reliably without misreading what you wanted to type, it will be a very handy thing to have along.
I wouldn't mind buying one if I actually used my palm.

Does anyone have any idea of how this works? I think we saw it back at CeBit, ZDNet is a little slow...

"The company announced the device Tuesday.
Uh....I saw this over 3 months ago and it was for sale. How is this being announced now?
