Virtual Laser Keyboard

This has to be the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

The virtual laser keyboard (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size working virtual keyboard on to any surface. You can use the VKB (Virtual PC Keyboard) with both your laptop and PC and with a compatible mobile device, compatible Smartphone and PDA. The virtual laser keyboards (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size virtual QWERTY keyboard on to any surface. The virtual PC keyboard behaves exactly like a real one, direction technology based on optical recognition enables the user to tap the images of the keys, complete with realistic tapping sounds which feeds into the compatible PDA, Smartphone, laptop or PC.

These things have been around for a while. I can't imagine using one because it couldn't feed back to your fingers. I think it would prove difficult and possibly bad for your hands. But it is pretty interesting and I have never tried one.

Yeah, I would definitely miss the tactile feel of a reall keyboard.
