Virtual Keyboard a Reality

Applications seen for mobile computing, as well as areas where a standard, physical keyboard are not practical. Very cool stuff from Siemens!"

    The problem with infra-red keyboards is that it becomes easy to just sniff what their user sends to his computer...
    With such devices, won't there be similar issues ?

    1. A keyboard like this, except nothing is actually projected on the table; only I see it because it's projected on my retina by the virtual monitor from yesterday's story.

    2. Oh by the way, my computer's display is also projected on my retina.

    3. A microphone/earplug that allows me to issue voice commands to the computer without a visible mic.

    4. Wireless network, of course.

    I could sit in Barnes and Noble freaking people out, talking to myself and tapping on the table.
