Multi-Touch Keyboard Technology

Posted by timothy on from the no-click-typing dept.

PhoenxHwk writes "University of Delaware's webpage is running a story on the new Multi-Touch Keyboard by Fingerworks. This was on Slashdot once before, but the product is no longer vapor! Fingerworks's products are gesture-based keyboard-and-mouse "surfaces" that require zero force to work with - they are hailed as a product to both combat RSI and make working more efficient."

    I'm glad to see they are continuing their policies on advertisements here on /.

    You would think a slashvertiser would strengthen their site before getting a link to their front page put up, though.

  3. other useful gestures... by gosand · · Score: 5, Funny
    To open a file, you rotate your hand as if opening a jar; to zoom or de-zoom, you expand or contract your hand.

    This would be great for browsers...

    making a fist and moving the hand in an up-and-down motion will go to www.persiankitty.com

    extending only the middle finger on the left hand will go to www.riaa.com

    extending only the middle finger on the right hand will go to www.mpaa.com

    extending both middle fingers will send you to www.microsoft.com

    One of the best thigns about this keyboard [...] Remeber the article just recentally here about mouse [...] Furthermore, it is hard to keep your fingers in the correct locations, since, with the exception of two little raised dots, there are no physical boundries between the keys.

    Hmmm... yes, I see the problem...

    Laugh people, it's a joke. :-)
