NEC virtual keyboard lets you text from your forearm November 11, 2015 - 11:01 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ever wanted to send text messages from your forearm like Tony Stark? That could soon be possible as Japanese company NEC has created a virtual keyboard that would look at home on any Iron Man suit, Digital Spy said. The ARmKeypad software will only work when paired with an eyeglass computer like Google Glass and a smartwatch, as it needs both to detect which keys are being pressed. It uses the built-in camera on a headset to display the virtual keyboard on the user's forearm, and the wearable device picks up vibrations when the keys are being pushed. NEC developed the software to help workers in maintenance and factory jobs, as well as medical professionals, enter information hands-free, according to Vice. It has a clear advantage over voice dictation in these settings because it can be used in noisy environments. NEC plans to launch its virtual keyboard in 2016 to capitalise on the burgeoning augmented reality market.
