There are many types of keyboards, ranging from your regular rubber dome keyboards to mechanical ones. Then there are also on-screen keyboards, laptop-styled keyboards and etc. But what if you wanted a glass keyboard? Wouldn’t that be amazing? Well it seems that such a keyboard does exist and was demonstrated at CES 2013. WITH its artistic body, the Luminae glass keyboard from TransluSense integrates a light pipe, infrared LEDs and visible LEDs for illumination in different shades of red, blue, white, and purple. The sleek keyboard comes equipped with three cameras that track your hand movement on its surface. The cameras look upward from below and see when your fingers break the light pattern. This translates motion into input using Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) technology.
Its custom keyboard skins allow you customize its functionality. With the custom key creation tool, you choose where keys, sliders and track pad space are located. So you can develop your own style and design the coolest surface ever. If you get tired of it, just peel it off and apply a new one.
