Microsoft cria teclado invertido para seu Tablet // #bizarro!
via fastcompany.com
Sabe aquele botão Z que tinha no Nintendo 64? A Microsoft fez uma bizarricie dessa pro protótipo de Tablet deles. Por enquanto os pesquisadores ainda enfrentam dificuldades com a curva de aprendizado, os resultados não foram muito legais ainda:
O primeiro app para esse Tablet vai ser o Sanfona Hero!
Veja aqui o paper { https://research.microsoft.com/pubs/135609/reartype%20mobilehci.pdf }
About:
The RearType key layout takes the two halves of the QWERTY alphabet keys and rotates them so that the keys remain in the same relative positions with respect to the fingers despite them being on the rear surface of a device. This is equivalent to 90-degree rotations in two axes. The thumbs remain on the frontsurface for grip, and other keys are placed within reach of the thumbs.
RearType avoids the need for on-screen touch-based keyboards and their inherent space usage and occlusion problems. It also supports 10-finger touch-typing input versus the single-finger "hunt and peck" of touchscreen or thumb-based small-key keyboards (e.g. on Blackberrys).
