Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard
Lasers play a serious role in this industry these days and they're also behind the working principle of the gadget we’re about to present as follows. We're dealing with a small and convenient laser projector you can easily stow away in your bag.
This laser keyboard is quite convenient since it comes with no wires: it communicates with other devices using Bluetooth v1.1 class 2 sporting a 9m operating range. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery can deliver up to 120 minutes of continuous typing; still we're not sure whether the supplied wall adapter can be used to keep it plugged in all the time, but most likely it is, otherwise having to switch keyboards makes for a real setback.
This tiny device laser-projects a keyboard on any flat surface... you can then type away accompanied by simulated key click sounds. It really is true future magic at its best. You'll be turning heads the moment you pull this baby from your pocket and use it to compose an e-mail on your bluetooth enabled PDA or Cell Phone. With 63 keys and and full size QWERTY layout the Laser Virtual Keyboard can approach typing speeds of a standard keyboard.
