Virtual Laser Keyboard

About the size of a small cellular phone, (90 x 34 x 24 mm), the VKB enables users to type texts or e-mails as easily as with a ordinary keyboard. Imagine how easy it would be, if you had a proper mobile phone keyboard that fits in your pocket...

The I-Tech Virtual Keyboard uses a light projection of a full-sized computer keyboard on almost any surface. Used with PDA's and Smart Phones, the Virtual Keyboard provides a practical way to do e-mail, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, enabling users to leave laptops and computers at home.
VKB's adaptable technology studies the user's finger movements to interpret and record keystrokes. Because the virtual keyboard is an image projected by light, it disappears completely when not in use.

When using the VKB settings can be changed either via your laptop, your PC or your compatible Smartphone and PDA:

# Sound: controllable Virtual Keyboard sound effects (keyclicks)
# Connection: Connection to the appropriate Laptop/PC port
# Intensity: Intensity of the projected Virtual Keyboard
# Timeouts: coordinated timeouts to conserve the Virtual Keyboard's battery life
# Sensitivity: adjustable sensitivity of the Virtual Keyboard
# Auto-repeat: Allows the VKB to automatically repeat a key based on prescribed parameters
