ABSTRACT
C o m p u t i n g i s n o w n o t l i m i t e d t o d e s k t o p s a n d l a p t o p s , i t h a s found its way
into mobile devices like palm tops and even cell phones.But what has not changed for
the last 50 or so odd years is the input device, the good old QWERTY keyboard.
Virtual Keyboard uses sensor technology and artificial intelligence to let users work
on any surface as if it were a keyboard. Virtual Devices have developed a
flashlight-size gadget that projects an image of a keyboard on any surface and
lets people input data by typing on the image. The Virtual Keyboard uses light
to project a full-sized computer keyboard onto almost any surface, and disappears
when not in use. Used with Smart Phones and PDAs, the VKEY provides a practical way to
do email, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, allowing the user to leave the laptop
computer at home.
