AirType is a portable device that translates your finger movements into readable type can bring keyboard free typing closer. The AirType is a set of cuff-like devices that attach to your hands, and makes the letters you want by learning your finger movements.
It is no different than typing on a keyboard but it allows you to type on any surface. The AirType is described as “a keyboard that fits in the palm of your hand.” It adapts to the way user types, so they don’t need to change their tying habits. The device is designed to be just portable as a cell phone and can clip onto a tablet for easy transport. It is accompanied by an app that brings dynamic text prediction and correction to the user’s typing experience. Th device is still in an early prototype stage.
It is a concept right now. But, if AirType ever becomes a real product, all you need are two cuffs and a bit of typing skill. If AirType manages to pull through, it could very well revolutionize the way we type on mobile devices.
