I would say there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of
anyone without vision being able to use this device.  Let me
try to explain.
 
It works rather like a tiny film or slide projector, in that
it projects a picture of a keyboard onto the desk.  You then
type directly on to the desk.  Sensors pick up finger
movements, and relay them back through the device to your PC
or whatever.
 
All that for around $200, or about £120.
 
I wouldn't suggest too many people on this list put it on
their Christmas wish list, or they'll be in for a big
disappointment.
 
George.

Thought many of you would find this interesting-

Not sure how user friendly for a VI user this device is as
it is, but I'm sure if it's not, that many good ideas will
develop soon to make it more usable for us.
 
Anyone is welling to take the plunge to try it out?! *Smile*
