ABSTRACT
Canesta Keyboard is a novel interface to electronic devices that consists of a projection system and a sensor module instead of the mechanical switches of a traditional keyboard. Users input text by pressing keys on a projected image of a keyboard. This paper describes the advantages and drawbacks of this interface compared to existing input methods for mobile devices in terms of data entry speed, error rate, user satisfaction and physical size as revealed through usability testing.

Typing on flat glass: examining ten-finger expert typing patterns on touch surfaces
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTouch screen surfaces large enough for ten-finger input have become increasingly popular, yet typing on touch screens pales in comparison to physical keyboards. We examine typing patterns that emerge when expert users of physical keyboards touch-type on ...
Twiddler typing: one-handed chording text entry for mobile phones
CHI '04: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAn experienced user of the Twiddler, a one--handed chording keyboard, averages speeds of 60 words per minute with letter--by--letter typing of standard test phrases. This fast typing rate coupled with the Twiddler's 3x4 button design, similar to that of ...
