Teclado sensível à pressão

UIST 2009 Student Innovation Contest

A Microsoft está a desenvolver o protótipo de um teclado que é sensível à pressão numa resolução de 8 bits (256 níveis), em vez dos tradicionais que apenas detectam premido ou não.

O teclado será demonstrado publicamente numa conferência que faz parte de uma competição para estudantes que demonstrem usos práticos para o teclado.
