      Interesting!

      Combine it with a projector that can project a good 2d picture in thin air and we'd hawe a interestin beginnig for realy compact laptops

        Looks cool, but totally impractical. It would be sore on the wrists unless it was projected onto a foam rubber thingy.

          Are you kidding? This is incredibly practical. It lets your PDA have a full-size keyboard anywhere you can find a flat surface for it. Build this into the bottom of one of those "webpads" and you've got laptop functionality.

          It's probably less strain than a regular keyboard too, since you don't have to actually depress the keys, just get the spot right. Also, the keys would not be elevated compared to the surface you rest on.

          Seems a little weird for touch-typing though. How would you find the home row?

          Edit: Not to mention that this would be the easiest keyboard to keep clean.

            Actually, for a PDA your right, but for a regular keyboard substitute I still say nay.

              Seems like an amazing solution for portable data entry.

                I hope it gives a 'click' when input is accepted like in a normal keyboars since you can't really 'feel' the click there.
