Intuitive Futuristic Keyboards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Translucent Keyboard Works as Well as Those in Movies

— December 22, 2012 — Tech
Not only does the TransluSense Cleartouch translucent keyboard look futuristic, its functions are as well.

Pulling inspiration from various science fiction and fantasy movies, the translucent keyboard by TransluSense feels like it was literally dragged out from the big screen. The cantilevered design for the glass touchpad and keyboard incorporates a motion sensor that detects the hands' movements to determine what keys may and will be pressed. The intuitive design also includes a built in camera, illuminating LED lights that can produce 16 million color brightness options and customizable skins as well. Although the design looks slightly delicate, TransluSense ensures users that it can be easily be cleaned and should any markings on the keypad fade, new skins can easily be purchased.

Due to the motion-sensing technology, the board will detect the intended letters so users shouldn't worry if the new skin is slightly askew.
