And it get's even wilder, folks! How about a laser-guided virtual keyboard?
Check the Canesta Keyboard http://www.canesta.com/products.htm (best
looking solution of the bunch), The Virtual Keyboard
http://www.virtualdevices.net or VKB's virtual keyboard
http://www.vkb.co.il from Jerusalem (brightest keyboard, clumsy looking
hardware).
Not so hot, because external HW is required: Kitty
(http://www.kittytech.com/about-kitty.html - run around looking like the
borg? No way!) and Swedish entry Senseboard (http://www.senseboard.com).
The Senseboard HW might be tuned with weights to give you a better workout
(remember B. Sterling's Heavy Weather?). ;=}
Match any of these ready for market devices with that holographic display,
make it portable, and the future is now!
Cheers,
DJV.
