Like this Optimus Tactus, an extruded shape/touch surface/keyboard concept by Art.Lebedev. We really like the soon-to-be-released Optimus keyboard Art but, seriously, how often do you type on your computer?I can imagine that artists, musicians and video editors would like something like this... however, there are solid LCD tablet displays and Tablet PCs on the market already. Experience shows that, for the time being, it's a limited market. Further limiting it to a keyboard replacement could be economicallyimpractical at best, never mind how practical this could be. The issue of the price is the other key here: by the time a touch surface keyboard could be a commercial reality coming from China via Moscow, touch computing from Apple and Microsoft would be so ubiquitous that it won't make sense anymore.<img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_3f95iVVUx6I/R4pjBSqPTpI/AAAAAAAAE98/0XvIzgtA0SI/s400/1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Optimus Tactus does not have physical keys, which means there are no restrictions on their shape and size.<img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_3f95iVVUx6I/R4pjBiqPTqI/AAAAAAAAE-E/Aw2zN6So5BM/s400/optitact-side.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Any part of the keyboard surface can be programmed to perform any function or to display any images.<img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_3f95iVVUx6I/R4pjByqPTrI/AAAAAAAAE-M/ubVqjUNdIXY/s400/optitact-text.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Typing mode<img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3f95iVVUx6I/R4pjCCqPTsI/AAAAAAAAE-U/I0WNwy049to/s400/optitact-video.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Video mode</blockquote>
