Tech Discussion 5/9/14: Bracelets and Google Glass Forming a Virtual Keyboard

A university in Sweden is developing a system that combines a pair of bracelets with a visual device, such as Google Glass, to create a virtual keyboard that only the user can view. The bracelets that will either be worn on the wrists or hands will contain sensors that will be able to follow the positions and movements of the user's fingertips and hands. They will also be able to tell how far above the user's hands are from the nearest flat surface. As the user taps his or her hand on the flat surface, the virtual keyboard will correspond. The bracelets can also be used for mouse and gesture control. The team creating this hopes to have it done in a year. To read more click here.
