In a time when all equipment smarter is made, the keyboard can not be left behind. A smart keyboard from Georgia Institute of Technology can not only identify who the keys are pressed, but provides itself with power.
According to the makers of the intelligent keyboard is not only registered or a key is pressed, but also with how much force it takes to do it, and how much time there is between two keystrokes. That reports Physorg. This would be a pattern to yield a per person vary, and so can be used for identification and security. A test shows that the keyboard most people can distinguish, although there is a small margin of error.
But the keyboard, by scientists at the George Institute of Technology is developed, has more technology on board. With each keystroke by the used power a small electric current is generated. In addition, there is a layer of about the keys that the electric signals received, which originate from the fingers. This would allow sufficient current is induced can be a wireless transmitter, which the keystrokes to forward it to the pc. By the way the keyboard is built, it is also moisture resistant. So feel free to coffee to be spilled.
The creators think that they have their smart keyboard for a competitive price in the market because they use cheap, common materials. However, there are no details given about a commercial release, so those interested probably still have a bit of patience.
