HoloType Holographic Keyboard Projects a Full Keyboard onto Any Surface
KeyBeam released HoloType, a thumb-sized projector that casts a virtual QWERTY keyboard onto any flat surface, using infrared sensors to detect keystrokes with 98.5% accuracy at 80 words per minute.
Input device company KeyBeam released HoloType on April 30. The thumb-sized gadget uses a micro-laser projector to cast a standard QWERTY keyboard layout onto a desk, an airplane tray table, or even your thigh, while an infrared sensor array precisely tracks finger-press events.
HoloType achieves 98.5% accuracy at typing speeds of 80 words per minute. It connects to phones or tablets via Bluetooth and lasts 8 hours on a charge. Priced at $129.
The primary use case is mobile productivity — when your tablet doesn't have a physical keyboard, any flat surface becomes one. Early user feedback puts the most popular scenario at working on a tablet during flights.
