The size of a writing pen, the Virtual Keyboard uses light to project a full-sized computer keyboard onto almost any surface, and disappears when not in use. Used with Smart Phones and PDAs, the VKey provides a practical way to do email, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, allowing the user to leave the laptop computer at home. "The VKey allows the business user to avoid lugging the laptop computer around and eliminates all of the laptop airport security hassles," says Peter Hanowich, President and CEO of Virtual Devices, the company that developed this technology.
"This is the ultimate solution for travel-weary laptop users," says Hanowich.
VKey observes the user's finger movements to interpret and record keystrokes and mouse functions. "And since the virtual keyboard is an image projected in light, it completely disappears when not in use," said Hanowich.
The VKey unleashes the word processing, email and spreadsheet functionality of Smart Phones and PDAs by providing a practical way to enter data. "Since VKey technology can be incorporated directly into a PDA or Smart Phone, we are seeking to work with a manufacturer," says Hanowich, who is experienced in turning technology ideas into successful businesses. "Responses and the feedback from consumers has been even more positive than expected," said Hanowich. "86% of first responses were positive," says a respected market research firm. "68% of business users would leave their laptop athome." "Regarding pricing, we feel certain that it will be affordable for consumers," said Hanowich.
"Ultimately, VKey's incredible portability will enable the product to enhance personal computing devices and allow everyone to carry a fully functional pocket computer." "In addition to a broad-based consumer electronics market," Hanowich said "VKey technology has many applications in various high-tech and industrial sectors. These include data entry and control panel applications in hazardous and harsh environments and medical markets where sterile data entry is an issue."
