Laser Project Keyboard
ABSTRACT
A Virtual keyboard actually is a key- in device, roughly a size of a pen,which uses highly advanced laser
technology. The new Virtual keyboard technology uses sensors technology and artificial intelligence to let users
work on any surface as if it were a keyboard .In a Virtual keyboard camera tracks the finger movements of the
typist to get the correct keystroke. The software and hardware part recognizes the typed characters and pass it
to the computer. A projection keyboard is a form of computer input device whereby the image of a virtual
keyboard is projected onto a surface: when a user touches the surface covered by an image of a key, the device
records the corresponding keystroke.
An optical virtual keyboard was invented and patented by IBM engineers in 1992. It optically detects
and analyses human hand and finger motions and interprets them as operations on a physically non-existent
input device like a surface with painted or projected keys.
