The Glass Keyboard

Read ArticleArticle Source: KenRockwell

"Glass Keyboards" are touch-sensitive displays that show anything desired, and know when and where you tap them.

If an image of a keyboard pops up, it's a keyboard, and if an image of a trackpad appears, it's your mouse, too.

Modern aircraft use them extensively today, space ships have used use touch-sensitive glass control panels since the 1960s (at least on TV), and they're all over fast-food restaurants.

They are extremely tough, functional and practical: Apple iPods and iPhones use them.
