A fluid filled keyboard. Like typing on a bunch of boils and pustules. Ewww..uk. No thanks.
Or, all the benefits of a slime covered touch keyboard obscuring your screen with, well, without any advantages.
Might as well just make the keyboard on this Galaxy I am typing on now full screen but semi transparent so I have bigger keys and can see more of the text I am entering.
My first thought was "can you rest your fingers on the raised buttons without causing user input?" According to the white paper, the answer is yes:
"Enables Users To Rest Fingers On Screen Without Inputting Data
Currently, it is impossible for users to rest their fingers on the surface of a touchscreen
because each touch is always registered as a data input. The Tactus solution allows
users to rest their fingers on the buttons because their fingers are further away from the
touch sensor than when the buttons are pressed or retracted. Tactus technology lets
users orient or reposition their fingers onscreen by feeling for the buttons or button
edges and fine-tuning finger positions, without needing to glance at the screen."
Although, I imagine if you are moving your finger across the raised keyboard, the device will sense input between the keys, which will really screw things up, unless the software was tweaked enough. This might actually be something useful. I'd have to try it. Too bad I'm not at CES
