The virtual keyboard is a concept that we first had a glimpse of a couple of years back. The promise of a keyboard that could be projected onto any flat surface and serve as the input device for your PDA seemed too good to be true. Then, after constant delays and several missed availability dates, it looked like it actually was too good to be true. Well the time has come where the virtual keyboard is a reality, and we jumped at the opportunity to test out this brand new technology when we were offered the chance. You can use the VKB (Virtual PC Keyboard) with both your laptop and PC and with a compatible mobile device, compatible Smartphone and PDA. The virtual laser keyboard (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size virtual QWERTY keyboard on to any surface. The virtual PC keyboard behaves exactly like a real one.

Introduction

(a). About BlueTooth :

The basic product concept of Bluetooth revolves around the idea of Personal Area Networks (PANs), or piconets. The idea is that people (particularly business people) tend to have more than one and sometimes several devices. Bluetooth is a wireless PAN and by eliminating the use of (proprietary) cables it makes the idea of a PAN more interesting. Bluetooth supports both point-to-point and point-to-multi-point connections. Several piconets can be established and linked together ad hoc, where each piconet is identified by a different frequency hopping sequence.

Introduction

(b). About VKB :

Founded in 2000, VKB, Inc. VKB's unique, patented and patent-pending optical technology uses simple, low-cost components. The first application of the technology, a virtual keyboard, was launched as a product in late 2004. VKBs mission is to create a new generation of high-performance, low-cost virtual interface solutions across a wide range of applications in the communications, computing, medical, automotive, industrial, defense and digital entertainment markets.

About i.Tech Dynamic Limited

Working Of The Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard

Home

The Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard provides an easy, intuitive way for users to input data and access the full functionality of increasingly sophisticated wireless mobile consumer devices and platforms where there are no other simple options. The keyboard is compatible with a variety of wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, smart phones, laptops, tablet PCs and PCs. The BTVKB uses three modules to create the keyboard technology: The projection module The illumination module The sensor module. The first module projects the keyboard image onto the adjacent surface using a red laser diode and highly efficient diffractive optical element.

Home

The illumination module projects an infrared beam of light just above the keyboard surface. This light is invisible to the user and hovers a few millimeters above the surface. The sensor module detects the interaction of the finger with the IR beam. It receives this information, interprets the keystrokes and communicates them back to the external device (PDAs, mobile phones, etc.). This modules are described in detail Below :

STEPS
Home

Step1:Template creation(Projection Module) A template of the desired interface is projected onto the adjacent interface surface. The template is produced by illuminating a specially designed, highly efficient holographic optical element with a red diode laser. Step2: Reference plane illumination (Microillumination ModuleTM) An infra-red plane of light is generated just above, and parallel to, the interface surface. This light is invisible to the user and hovers a few millimeters above the surface. When the user touches a key position on the interface surface light is reflected from this plane in the vicinity of the key and directed towards the sensor module.

STEPS
Home Step 3: Map reflection coordinates (Sensor,Module) Reflected light from user interactions with the interface surface is passed through an infra-red filter and imaged on to a CMOS image sensor in the sensor module. Custom hardware embedded in the sensor chip (the Virtual Interface Processing CoreTM) then makes a real-time determination of the location of the reflected light. The processing core can track multiple reflection events simultaneously and can thus support both multiple keystrokes and overlapping cursor control inputs. Step 4: Interpretation and communication (Sensor,Module) The micro-controller in the sensor module receives the positional information corresponding to the light flashes from the sensor processing core, interprets the events (e.g. keydown, keyup, mouse or touchpad control etc..) and communicates them through an appropriate interface to external devices.

How To Synchronize BTVKB With Other Devices

Turning on the BTVKB :

It projects a keyboard layout that is a 63 key / full sized QWERTY layout that measured 295 x 95mm.

Turn on iPAQ, enabled Bluetooth and press the Manager button. Navigate your way to Tools, Paired Devices, then click on ADD and use the lookup icon where it found the BTVKB almost immediately.

Home

Enter the PASSKEY on the device and enter the same PASSKEY on the projection of the keyboard. Press the enter key on the projected image, the pairing is instantaneous

Start the VKB program (found under Programs) and navigate to the Connection Tab select Bluetooth (default was Serial). Go back to the VKB Tab, then click on the Enable VKB box and immediately a screen appears asking if it is the first time the user was connecting to this Virtual Keyboard. Pressing YES, it goes to the Bluetooth browser, asking to select a device.

Home

Thus the Bluetooth Manager will Browse you for selecting a Bluetooth Device and choices can be made according to the selection.

An authorization request appeared and after I accepted it, the device was connected.

Home

In subsequent connections, when you turn on your device and the BTVKB, a request for authorization will appear (almost immediately). After you accept it, the devices are connected. Then you start the VKB program, click enable, and say NO to the question. Within a second you are ready to start entering text in the program of your choice. For most folks, when you press the "X" to close a program, it is still running in the background. So if you have a program that really closes a program (removes it from the Running Program List) when you hit the "X", then you will not be able to use the BTVKB. One thing that you need to remember is that the VKB program MUST be running in the background in order for the BTVKB to work

Is the VKBs laser are safety?

The Virtual Keyboard is certified as a Class 1 Laser Enclosure. This means that the laser emission is completely eye sage under any conditions. Nevertheless, one should avoid staring directly into the keyboard projection beam in order to avoid any eye disconfort.

How to Maintain it is it soft and to be handled with care?

(1). Avoid touching the black windows covering the detection hardware on the side of the device. (2). Never touch the keyboard projection element. (3). Avoid exposing the keyboard to moisture or extreme temperatures. (4). If the black windows become dirty clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any solvents or cleaners. (5). Do not disassemble or try to touch the inside of the device. (6). Do not attempt to charge the device with a different charger than the one provided by VKB.

Why not simply build phones into mobile PCs?

The cost is too high. There are many different phone standards to choose from. There is no standard that is universally available around the world. The usage model for mobile PCs does not match that of phones.
