Yeah, George, agree. But I was thinking that maybe some ideas could be
introduced to make the VKB more useable. I kind of understand how it works;
though I haven't tried it so can't be so sure. But how about projecting the
virtual keyboard on, say a thin rubber sheet, which resembles a tactile
keyboard? That will give the user something to touch, and it will remain easier
just to roll up the rubber sheet and carry it around than a foldable keyboard.
Don't mean to rant *G*, just want to share some thoughts!

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*
