The MessageEase touchpad

Exideas MessageEase touchpad

Exideas says they're working with Mercurial Innovations Group on a USB touchpad (see, it all comes back to touchpads today) keyboard that uses their MessageEase system for one-handed typing. Since it's a touchpad, there are no actual keys, you type using taps for the most common letters and slides for everything else. They're not crazy enough to suggest that anyone replace their current keyboard (however inefficient it may be), more that it could be used by the disabled, in wearable computing, or in places where space is at an premium.
