A Virtual Keyboard for iPad & iPhone

We live in the future. No, seriously, we do. This laser virtual keyboard ($170) is proof of it. It syncs with your iPad or iPhone over bluetooth so that you can type on any surface. Check out the video of it in action.

You can even choose to have simulated keyboard sounds, just in case silent typing isn’t your thing. Can you imagine full school classes or workplaces where everyone is typing on lasers? So crazy. The size of the cube laser device is just a bit larger than a matchbook and the battery lasts for 2.5 hrs.

I remember seeing this in the NYT years ago. So cool.

This might make the iPad usable for me. Note the up and down keys, missing on the iPad screen keyboard, making it impossible to use Tumblr in Safari.  I will have to try.
