Bob Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 i just got an idea as i was watching 2x03, using a powerglove (or similar device, pererablly more portable, to sense you motion, and make it able to use a keyboard, this is also based off the laser keyboard i saw on think geek, but without being able to see it i figure,youd press a button to calibrate the system, either WASD and mouse, or homerow, you couldnt really move but you could however, type much more discreatly(such as with no sound) or even, take notes while your laptop is either across the room or closed in your bag. a few probems i alredy can think of 1.no soldering iron 2. might alredy exist 3.i cant code programs worth a damn 4.need a more portable glove unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebola Eater of Packets Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I mean, to be honest, you can do a whole hell of a lot with a powerglove. What might give you more useability and range, when they're available, are the new Nintendo Wii controls. Harder to configure as a keyboard, I suppose, but damned useful for, say, presentations.

tim.vangehugten Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm sorry to tell you but such a 'glove' exists already, checkout http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,70568-page,1/article.html It allows you to let you type in air with just a few sensors.

tim.vangehugten Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 It is indeed the future of saving desktopspace, but I thing that the technologie isn't so far. Cause when you want to type in the are, where do you find the keys? You can type in the air, but when you move to the left with your hand you should also be able to type in the air i think. So I find it a bit strange. For those who can't make up anything about what I'm typing here, don't worry, I can't express it that well.

Bob Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 i get what your sayin, yeah i thoguht about that but then thats why you would incorporate a calibration button both wii controllers and the powerglovve have sensor arrangements, meaning i would have to triangulate with a diffrent object than that if i were to walk into say, a coffe shop i guess these product demos seem to make the idea even farther...

softdel Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hmm, that's a good point there. What if it were to project a keyboard onto the wall...and you use the glove to point at the keys? I dunno, i prefer good old qwerty :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, i prefer good old qwerty :P laser keyboard on think geek, but you actually touch the keys. thats pretty much where i gott eh idea from, but also that you could type without anyone knwing you were typing, hence the reason for a glove, as shown in the article however the systems were larger than i woudl ahve wished, so it kidna contradicts my entire idea of typing discreatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
