Multitouch computer touchscreen Keyboard from Microsoft

mulitouch computer keyboard on touchscreen virtual keyboard technology from microsoft

This latest patent held by Microsoft, featured a multi-touch virtual keyboard design, solved the issue that user could not really feel and locate the on screen keyboard without looking at it.

The key concept for the virtual computer keyboard technology is that it’s using the multi-touch design to make the on screen virtual keyboard show on the place where your palms are located once you touch the screen. So you can key in anywhere on the screen without knowing where the keys actually are.

Very simple concept but really handy design.

It seems there is going to be a touchscreen war at the end of this decade.

Hare is a video we found on youtube indicated that Microsoft have implemented a kind of Multi-touch tech on its coming OS Windows 7.

Would physical keyboards survive for another decade?

Keyboard Cat? Cat plays keyboard?

September 29th, 2009 - 

When people talk about keyboard cat, the first thing comes to my mind is charlie schmidt’s “cool cat”, a cat wearing a blue t-shirt and “playing” a happy rhythm on an electronic keyboard.

The following video really confused me, how did they make a cat play electronic keyboard like that?

If someone would create a “computer keyboard” version of this, it’ll certainly soon make the cat and its owner sound over the Internet. Just like the old charlie schmidt’s “cool cat”.

Ok, here is another funny stuff you may like to see, it’s rather a vintage cat keyboard, also AKA “A cat piano“.

Now do you hear something, you know, kind of “meow meow meow”, in your mind? :-)
