Default Art Lebebev Unveils Touchscreen Keyboard Concept

Art Lebedev, a leading design studio from Russia primarily known for its Optimus series of keyboards with visualization, on Friday announced its new concept, which will use rather conservative touch-screen technology. But while touch-screens have been known for ages, the Optimus Tactus may involve rather complex technology.

At this point not a lot is known regarding Optimus Tactus. What is clear is that a keyboard of an unknown size has embedded touch-screen display with unclear resolution, brightness and colour depth. Special software reconfigures touch-screen and end-users can get any sizes and shapes of keys as a result. In addition, based on the rendered images Art Lebedev released, the keyboard will be able to display additional information, e.g., videos, or calculation results

Default

touchpads are known to not be very fun to type on, hence why we still use keyboards which resemble the original typewriters so much, the fingers need feedback to know a keypress is registered!

also the reason why cellular phones have a "clicking" keyboard too
