i.Tech's new Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard uses Infrared rays to draw a virtual keyboard on a flat surface - and Bluetooth to carry the input back to devices.
Following a quiet period for virtual keyboards, the concept is back with a vengeance as Hong Kong based i.Tech launches its Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard, merging Infrared and Bluetooth technology. Compatible with a number of mobile device platforms, the product utilizes Infrared rays to draw a full QWERTY keyboard on a flat surface, registering user taps and sending input to devices using Bluetooth as the data carrier.
