Yesterday a company named Tactus unveiled it’s ground breaking new technology. OK seriously though, its frickin badass. It is more or less, the benefits of a physical keyboard but on a touch screen. Bare with me here. They show in the demo, the new technological screen on that of an iPhone. The screen elevates and deflates when new buttons are introduced on the screen. Is the mobile phone industry moving back to texting under the classroom desk and blindly texting and driving? It appears so, but the added benefits of a ‘smart’ physical keyboard are endless. Visually impaired people now can feel what they are trying to press rather than blindly guessing, as well as people who are far sighted, etc. Texturizing maps and adding physical depth to photos could be added to the market, but who knows at this point. If you have a few minutes check out their video.
