  2. If this came as a v shape or one with half a keyboard for each hand, it would be ideal. just rest it on any shirt or your knees or anywhere comfortable. would need to be wireless though for sure.

  3. The wearable keyboard thing is 100 bucks but not a real keyboard, you have to learn to type a whole different way, which seems to defeat the object.

  4. …or adapt it to plug into an iPad teaching app, rather than need a huge full screen like this thing

  5. Cool, like this but stretchy, so it fits any size keyboard.

  6. Great idea, currently you can only assign function keys – but I may want to switch from qwerty to a custom setup, gamers have customisable keyboards, but they still need the keys to be light up rather than printed on, so they can change them.

  7. These things have a sheet of icons that you stick on – crazy! Just make each key into a tiny display and use whatever symbol you want innit. And why can’t you get them for normal keyboards?

  8. Cool, but can’t someone make one out of rubber and with a strap, so it sticks to your hand when you move around. I would keep my hands down by my sides if I could touch type and they didn’t fall off.

  9. You can get them for piano but they look a bit basic, any gloves that can tell where each fingertip is and how its moving could be applied to all instruments, and then all sports, ie it could teach you how to play snooker, or whatever, better.

  10. Has many applications once someone gets the basic gloves right and plugged into apps. For example braille for blind people…

You could certainly imagine it for any type of typing,” says Starner. “I think there are a lot of things where you might not be able to teach the whole system, but you can definitely speed up learning.”
