  1. Touch Typing Gloves Siddharth Bhalerao Group 16

  2. Motivation http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/05/bluetooth_keyboardpalm.jpg • Current mobile typing technologies are not ideal… • Relearn the keyboard layout • Rely on flat surfaces • Bulky equipment • Require a number of sensors • Ability to type anywhere regardless of the locationor surface. • Modular design allows for various implementations of the device. • Project uses algorithms similar to that of T9 on cellular phones. http://vis.ucsd.edu/mediawiki/images/thumb/1/19/Kitty_teaser1.jpg/150px-Kitty_teaser1.jpg http://www.roeder-johnson.com/RJDocs/CAProjectionKeyboardCell.jpg
