You guys might remember the 6th Sense portable device, it projects images on walls and tables, even on your arm and hand to use as work space to control digital tools such a number pad for dialing a phone number among a myriad of incredible applications. One thing it brought to mind for me was that typing was still absent, you couldn't really, truly be portable. If you needed to type, you'd need a key board to do it on.
This system being developed, as you'll see in the video, is just miraculous. It really thinks outside of the box. While this interface doesn't allow for air-typing just yet, the prospect of it lends itself beautifully. As you can see, using the sound and vibration of tapping, with a little research, you could be typing in a new, faster format without having to touch an actual device. Instead, by flexing muscles and tapping on your skin. Like a new type of sign language - I think this is going to become a major part of our technological society.
