The Canesta Keyboard is the world’s first projection keyboard capable of being fully integrated by OEMs into smart phones, cell phones, PDAs, or other mobile or wireless devices. When equipped with the Canesta Keyboard, the OEM device uses a tiny laser “pattern projector” — also developed by Canesta — to project the image of a full-sized keyboard onto a convenient flat surface between the device and the user, such as a tabletop or the side of a briefcase. The user can then type on this image and Canesta’s electronic perception technology will instantly resolve the user’s finger movements into ordinary serial keystroke data that is easily utilized by the wireless or mobile device. The Canesta Keyboard Perception Chipset includes all the modules needed for a projected keyboard product including: the Canesta Keyboard Sensor Module, the Canesta Keyboard Light Source, and the Canesta Keyboard Pattern Projector.
