'keyless lifebook' by laura lahti
the 'keyless lifebook' concept by american designer laura lahti, is a shortlisted entry among over 1000 designs
from our recent designboom competition 'a life with future computing', organized in collaboration with FUJITSU.
designer's own words:
'the strain of typing will disappear with this ergonomic, customizable keyboard. your fingers will never lift up again,
you only have to slide your fingers up and down for the computer to recognize the letters you are commanding.
to customize, simply hit the 'arrange' button to move the button placement on your slideboard for a more comfortable arrangement.'

Hi . Does anybody knows how to contact Laura as we are doing the same device as she has designed. We are looking for people who are working under this application as well as Lebedev’s team does not support this project any more..

@Rui: the Libretto only offers 6 keyboard settings to choose from, it is not customizable, scalable, international, etc.
Looks like a virtual Comfort Keyboard in one plane. Still a good idea I think. May help in reducing RSI, carpal tunnel.
