Nowadays most people have felt comfortable wearing a physical keyboard. Alternatively, they use a virtual keyboard that is more efficient and practical. But there are other technologies currently offered by IBM relating to the keyboard.
IBM has patented the new technology, a touch screen keyboard that can adapt itself to the anatomy of its users. This keyboard can reposition the button and adjust the size and position of the user’s finger.
First it needs to calibrate finger keyboard and typing style of users. After the calibration is done, then the system will continue to monitor the use of a keyboard all the time. Furthermore, the system will determine the most frequently used patterns that will affect change in the position and the button.
Given the touch screen keyboard illustration released by IBM, it seems there will be no significant changes. Location of A remains under Q and E. Changes only on the distance between the keys that becomes wider. But the challenge is how to make the customers interested in this toucscreen keyboard. As is known, that the keyboard uses a user-based approach. This means that users must adapt in advance with this keyboard.
