Overview of Virtual Keyboards

The document discusses virtual keyboards, which use infrared and laser technology to project a full-size keyboard onto any flat surface. It describes how virtual keyboards work by using a sensor module, infrared light source, and pattern projector to create and detect the keyboard template. The document outlines benefits like using less space than physical keyboards and easing strain on hands. Potential uses are noted for professionals like taking notes in meetings or the library and for students in classes or at work. However, virtual keyboards can be difficult to learn to use and are generally more expensive than standard keyboards.

Virtual keyboard is hard to get used to. Since it


involves typing in thin air, it requires a little
practice. Only people who are good at typing can
use a virtual keyboard efficiently.

It is very costly ranging from 150 to 200 dollars.


So not everyone can buy this product.

The room in which the projected keyboard is used


should not be very bright so that the keyboard is
properly visible.

Thus virtual keyboards will make typing easier,


faster, and almost a pleasure.
