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.
