It is also smaller and more convenient to use than the folding-type keyboards made by some manufacturers and similar to them in functionality. There are no mechanical moving parts whatsoever in the Virtual Laser Keyboard. It provides a projected image that is the perfect portable input device for PDAs. It's similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards.The Virtual Laser Keyboard includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery. It provides the Virtual Laser Keyboard with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain any battery power from the PDA or PC. The battery lasts two to three hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries.You can download drivers and view manuals for specific phones.MCSi targets public safety professionals and sees a potential market for the VKB in the healthcare sector. They were convenient to view downloaded info, but it was complicated to enter large data. The problem was hardly solved with the virtual keyboard on the touchscreen and the built-in QWERTY-keyboard, as the input speed was much slower than the combination of the full-size keyboard and the touch method with ten fingers. Manuscript recognition is developing, though the process is far from being completed. As for the voice recognition, it is still in the egg. There are several ways to plug the keyboard. Let’s list them: Minuses: keyboards are incompatible with the devices by other makers; many models do not have such keyboard. The major plus: great variety of USB-keyboards that are cheap enough. Minuses: few devices with the USB-host; the cable is required. Minuses: devices should be within direct visibility; the problem here is that different PDAs have IrDA located sometimes at unexpected places. The most promising and universal way of connection. Almost all modern PDAs and smartphones (with little exception) are equipped with the Bluetooth adapter.

The connection doesn’t need the devices to be within direct visibility, as the process is wireless. No drivers are required (in theory with the duplex support of HID profile).However it has little to do with the problem of text input, it has other destination. We’ll try to prove this thesis in our review. Together with Siemens it had been working on the new technology for two years. The companies unveiled their technology in 2002 at the CeBIT 2002 show. To say it was a furor, it’s not enough. There were plenty of publications in most prestigious magazines and newspapers, real interest of the public didn’t lose the strength during a year after the first public demonstration (I remember I was greatly impressed by the video of the working keyboard then). Some people even said such keyboards would remain in the future. Any company can only dream about such attention. However time passed by, but the keyboard hadn’t appeared in shops. A year after at CeBIT 2003 there was introduced a proto of Siemens SX1 with projected laser keyboard built in the top part. The interest faded away gradually, many got disappointed in it believing it would never come out. Eventually it appeared, not as a built-in function of some device, but as a separate keyboard. VKB Inc. signed a contract with i.Tech Dynamics Limited, the latter started production and distribution of a virtual keyboard under its mark. Official start of sales of the Bluetooth-keyboard falls on December 2004. The QWERTY-keyboard image is projected with laser to a flat surface, Projection Module is involved. However the Module doesn’t take part in recognition of key strokes, you can switch it off and draw the keyboard on paper, for example. It creates invisible infrared field up 2 mm from the surface. When the user touches a virtual key, the infrared ray gets reflected and the sensor catches this signal. The Virtual Interface Processing Core locates the pressed key online.
http://jochenschild.com/images/bushnell-bowhunter-chuck-adams-edition-manual.pdf
The laser is involved only in drawing the keyboard image on a flat surface (some users mistakenly think that the principle of the virtual keyboard is similar to the laser measuring tape). The keyboard won’t take much place in your bag. In fact this is the only keyboard, which you can carry with you in the pocket. This is the matter under question, whether to carry the keyboard with you in addition to the phone and the handheld. There might be not so many pockets. Think about it to make your own decision. So this keyboard is narrower than the desktop “solid” analog, but wider than my 12” laptop. You can project the keyboard to almost any plain surface, the important thing is that the surface is really plain and solid. In this aspect the keyboard doesn’t require special conditions. The opposite process is even simpler, you don’t have to press anything, just take it from the surface. Thus the button on the bottom is automatically switched off. In the power saving mode the keyboard gets switched off after it was several minutes idle, if you forgot about it. Now let’s speak about how to plug the keyboard to other devices. The connection of the keyboard involves HID profile (Human Interface Device). Luckily this profile is more often met in devices. I have an important notice: at this connection some fine settings of the keyboard might be idle (for example, you won’t see the battery charge level and there won’t be the Russian layout). However some settings can be resumed by a combination of keys (we’ll talk about it below). In its settings you can see the battery charge level, adjust the projection intensity (it’s possible to make it less bright or switch it off in the dark, for example). You can play with settings, however you won’t gain much from it, the 10th level is actually optimal. As we’ve already mentioned, some settings can be activated by a combination of keys.
The parameters are similar in different operating systems, so we provide screenshots only for Windows Mobile version. In case of the SPP-connection, we should check the list of compatible devices. We wish other connection ways provided such wide compatibility. It seems to be the weakest part of the keyboard. Let’s start from the beginning. Under the lamp or direct sunlight the keyboard image is fading. You can still make it out, but you have to peer into it, involve your imagination to fancy the position of this or that key. Well, essential requirements imply a plain surface and absence of bright light. We can forget about the last condition, if we draw the keyboard layout on a paperboard, for example. All keys are big, bigger than we used to see. There is no top row of functional keys (F1-F12 and some other), however the keyboard has the row of digital keys. The location of several Russian letters isn’t standard, it’ll take some time to get used to it. There might be a sound feedback to compensate for it (however you can switch it off). So, forget about a touch method with ten fingers, you’ll have to look at the keyboard often. But real figures are far from that. Even if you type very fast on the ordinary keyboard, be ready your type speed with the i.Tech Bluetooth Virtual keyboard will drop at first. Everyday exercise will improve the situation, but the result won’t the maximum possible with the ordinary keyboard. The most unpleasant thing is the high error percent (mistaken key stroke, simultaneous stroke of several keys), which can’t make the virtual keyboard a good substitute to ordinary input methods. I’d note that the error percent is in inverse relationship with the type speed. When we type with two fingers and very slow, there aren’t any errors. But when we use all thumbs and fingers, we have nothing good in result. Any way you’ll have to spend more that a day to streamline the balance of speed and the error percent.

According to the manufacturer, the battery life amounts to 2 hours at continuous typing, in real tests we got even higher results. If we compare the virtual keyboard with the ordinary Bluetooth-keyboards, the i.Tech product has poor results (2 hours against 60 hours). I can hardly describe the effect the keyboard produced on people around. They forget about everything and behave like children, who see a toy from the dreams. It doesn’t matter whether you are interested in technologies or not. Even IT skeptics and progress opponents pay high attention to this new device. I think, the real laser sword from the Star Wars would have produced similar impression. However all these emotions take effect only at first, then the mind gets clearer gradually. Secondly, low text input speed is the main flaw, we believe. It’ll take you at least several days of practice to get used to the keyboard and achieve good results. At last, it requires a plain and solid surface and not bright light. As for the advantages, it has the smallest size among the analogs and wide compatibility. This is a product for enthusiasts, who care about having exclusive technologies. In addition they’ll enjoy a WOW-effect, the attention of people around (for example, working with the keyboard in a cafe). At the same time you can expect the effect will remain in a half a year or a year, the technology won’t be distributed widely. The buyers from the technical enthusiasts group will find a perfect match with this keyboard. However if you need the keyboard to solve the problem of text input, you are likely to choose some other variant, taking into account price and ergonomics matters. The matter is whether the company will manage to lower the cost of the solution, increase quality and speed of recognition, and battery life. I want to believe the technology will really become usual. You must have JavaScript enabled in your browser to utilize the functionality of this website.

BTVKB is a smart, pocket-size device that projects a full-size keyboard through infrared technology onto any flat surface. Users could then type on the infrared images as if typing on conventional keyboards. Without the need of any wire connection, BTVKB provides unprecedented convenience and mobility to users. PDA, Smartphone, laptop or PC. Power comes from a built in rechargeable battery (charger included). We’ll ship what’s in stock now and the rest later at no extra charge.

Its body is primarily composed of matte black plastic, and its shiny plastic front is where all of the magic happens. The VKB measures 3.7? tall x 1.4? wide x 1.1? thick, and it weighs 3.1 ounces. On its front is a long black glossy panel which covers the keyboard sensing receiver window. Directly above this area is the red clear plastic covered keyboard projection window.
I can honestly say that I have never typed for a full two hours with the keyboard, so I never discharged the battery. The back of the VKB displays various programmed shortcuts. Little did I know that I would become very accomplished at performing a hard reset in order to return the VKB to its factory settings for more effective pairing. More about that, later. ?? Drivers can also be downloaded directly from the VKB Support site maintained by its authorized US distributor, Golan-Tech. I need to state that up front, because the bulk of the problems I ran into later had to do with my choice of Bluetooth software and brand of dongle. I made sure that the box next to “Enable VKB” was checked, and I clicked sound effects because I new that I would need some sort of feedback when typing. Once the paperclip is in the hole, you pick up the keyboard, which releases the button on the bottom and completes the reset. You got that? ?? I started this part over, and just pressed a single P in the upper right corner of the phone and the display to get past this part. This was the most difficult part of the entire process.) 8. Verify the screen confirming it’s setting up a new partnership for VKB Keyboard 9. For Display Name, either accept the “VKB Keyboard” default or enter a name 10. Check “Input Device” 11. Save The trick for initiating pairing was to press the UP arrow, Function and B keys together for three seconds. The VKB would beep and the LED would flash blue, to indicate the keyboard was again searching and ready to pair.It worked perfectly with my MoGo mouse and the few other BT items I had paired with it, so I saw no reason to expect trouble when I tried to pair it with the VKB. I restored the VKB to factory settings, made it and my laptop discoverable, and settled back for what I expected to be another easy pairing.I heard the proper and expected clicks, and for the next several hours while I tinkered, I was convinced that the next pairing would work.
asian-autoparts.com/ckfinder/userfiles/files/canon-fd-manual-diaphragm-adaptor.pdf
But it didn’t, not once. So here is a support question: My issue is that when I try to pair with my laptop, there seems to be a breakdown in the process when the pairing key is entered. I’ll enter it on the laptop, then enter it on the keyboard, or I’ll do it keyboard first then laptop, but no matter what I do, I get the same error. I am using a Kensington dongle with Widcomm BT Software v4.0.1.2400, and I am running Windows XP service pack 2. The VKB beeps when it expects the passkey to be written on it and has a certain time window for the input. Computers that come with service pack 2 tend to have a different Bluetooth stack that causes problems with HID connections.You may be find it easier to use the default Windows Bluetooth driver (the one it matches to Bluetooth adaptors automatically) to connect to the VKB since it supports HID connections (and so needs no driver). The driver for Windows XP has a connections tab where the COM port is chosen. The COM port assigned in that tab needs to agree with the COM port assigned by the Bluetooth software. There should be a list of COM ports in the Bluetooth software. I would simply buy another BT dongle and choose one that specifically used the Blue Soleil driver software. After some false steps requiring reinstallation of the VKB XP driver, and the support of some online friends who were trying to chat in the middle of what was starting to feel like another exercise in frustration, everything suddenly popped into place and the VKB began working.The keyboard is best used in a desktop situation, where there is a nice flat surface to allow a clear and smooth typing surface. While typing, I had to be very conscious of where my non-keying fingers went, because it was very easy to accidentally brush against a virtual key, which would then cause entry errors. I worked out a method where my fingers would tuck up into my palm when they weren’t being used, versus the more spread-open-hand typing style I usually employ.
The only other real issue that I encountered was finding a comfortable way to prop my Treo, since unlike my HTC Universal it doesn’t have away to prop the screen for easy viewing. I love the idea of the VKB, and once paired with my PDAs the keyboard worked nearly perfectly. I just never felt that this method would or could ever be my first choice for text entry.

I can't tell you how everything works, but I'm known world-wide for using a product until I have a full understanding of what it does, what its limitations are, and if it excels in any given area — or not. It’s a fun way to get around, but between our hilly roads and my being 185 pounds, the motor couldn’t always keep up. The new Razor EcoSmart Metro HD Electric Scooter I received for review is even more fun and has a more powerful motor. But Psion abandoned this market, and Microsoft has allowed its Handheld PC variant of Windows CE to wither on the vine. This leaves users with few options -- in the UK, you're basically stuck with grey imports or obsolete hardware. External keyboards for handhelds are therefore quite popular, and the best of them allow for touch typing at reasonable speeds. But even the smallest of these folding keyboards represents a significant addition to your travel kit, and they often feel cramped to use. I.TECH (part of the Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa group) has identified a gap in the market and come up with the Virtual Keyboard: this is a small unit that projects a keyboard onto any surface, and connects to a range of smartphones, handhelds and notebooks. It’s certainly innovative, but how well does it work. Design The Virtual Keyboard is a multi-part piece of kit. The main unit is a 90g box measuring 9cm long by 3.4cm wide and 2.4cm deep.
This projects a keyboard onto a flat surface using a laser, and senses keypresses via an infrared link. Tap a key on the projected keyboard, and the box knows what key you have tapped. Keystrokes are sent to your handheld via a cable that plugs into its serial connector. The use of a cable connection means that the Virtual Keyboard will only work with devices for which cables are supplied. Currently these are the O2 xda and xda II, Orange SPV e200, PalmOne Tungsten T3 and m505, and HP iPaq H2100, H5550 and H5455. You get a full set of cables, plus a standard serial cable for use with notebook and desktop computers. Additional devices may be supported in the future. Our tests were all carried out using an xda II. In addition to the projection box and cables, the package includes a CD with drivers and a user manual (in Microsoft Word format, so make sure you can read Word documents), a charger for the projector's battery, and a carrying case.This provides access to various settings, including the light intensity of the keyboard (we assume the lowest of the three settings is the most battery-efficient), key repeat rate and timeouts. There are two timeouts: one lets the keyboard turn itself off after a specified idle time, while the other simply turns off projection, allowing a restart without needing to re-enable the keyboard. If the latter is set for a shorter period than the former, then simply waving your hand where the keyboard should be is enough to restart it. You can also configure the sensitivity of the keyboard. With this set too high you may find the keyboard fails to detect keypresses, with it set too low it may detect more actions than you intend. And to give you some sort of feedback while typing, the Virtual Keyboard supports configurable sound effects (keyclicks). The keys themselves are the usual full-size QWERTY arrangement with a number row above.
There's a directional cursor on the bottom right edge, and some of the Shift key combinations are in unusual locations. The lack of a '?' could prove more annoying, though.Things improved after a bit of fiddling with the sensitivity setting, but we still had to restrict our usual touch-typing speed to get the desired accuracy rate. We peaked at about 30 words a minute. It's worth noting that anything substantial placed between the projection unit and the keyboard may interfere with recognition. We thought the Virtual Keyboard was malfunctioning until we realised a pen sitting between the keyboard and the projector was causing the problem. There's also a general problem with ambient light. We carried out our test in an office, and found brown surfaces better than black, and in darker corners generally better than bright ones. Not surprising perhaps, given that the keyboard is a laser projection; however, it's unlikely to be usable next to a brightly lit window in an office, or on a train. External hardware keyboards generally incorporate a stand to prop up your handheld, making it easy to see text as it appears on-screen. The Virtual Keyboard's cable connection is to the handheld's docking port, which is generally on the bottom edge of the unit, and there's no stand provided. This makes it difficult to prop up your handheld for convenient viewing, and is a usability failing that I.TECH needs to address. As it stands, we'd be unlikely to choose the Virtual Keyboard over a hardware-based external keyboard for a handheld. Hardware keyboards are often cheaper, work with a wider range of devices and are much easier to use out of the box. However, I.TECH's device undoubtedly works, and we look forward to tracking its future progress. The ?99.99 (inc. VAT) Virtual Keyboard is available in the UK from Internity.

Learn More The i-Tech Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard is one of those devices that you may have imagined was still in the realms of science fiction, but it’s real, it’s here and it works. But thankfully, you’re not going to find homicidal apes bashing each other to death around the i-Tech. Here i-Tech has pulled the stops out and gone for a Bluetooth connection method, allowing the keyboard to be connected to a multitude of devices, without the shackles of any wires. Here you’ll find that the keyboard is compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP if you’ve got a Bluetooth dongle of course. There’s also a list of Pocket PC, Palm and Smartphone devices that are also compatible. Typing on the i-Tech is a bit tricky at first, and you’ll probably find yourself making quite a few mistakes at first. There is a reassuring click, every time a key press is registered to give you some piece of mind when typing. Also, it’s worth remembering that this isn’t supposed to be a replacement for a conventional keyboard, instead it’s a pocket size keyboard for devices that don’t have simple text input methods. Anyone who has tried to compose long emails on a PDA or smartphone will know exactly what I’m talking about, and will be able to appreciate the convenience offered by the i-Tech. There’s even a protective carry case supplied in the box, to make sure that you don’t scratch or bash the i-Tech while you’re transporting it. Also in the box you’ll find a power supply to charge the integrated battery, and a driver CD. In use I found that I got between an hour and a half and an hour and three quarters of continuous use. The review sample was supplied to us by Virtual-Laser-Keyboards.com and although it’s a US based company, it does ship world wide. Taking shipping into account the Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard will set you back ?125.
44, although it’s worth remembering that you might get stung for VAT by UK customs. Ultimately though, battery life and price are real world issues, and can’t be ignored. But if you’ve got deep pockets, don’t need long battery life and want the coolest input device on the planet, this is the product for you. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We’ll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. The Installation CD didn't seem to work so I downloaded the driver software from the itech website. Could anyone that has succesfully installed the software pls guide me through this. ThanksHOWEVER it depends on the itech unit as to what it advertises itself as. If it uses SPP instead of HID profiles, this stack will not make it work either. Give it a go, download should still be active here Give it a go, if it's a broadcom stack. You never know.From what i've read online, the imate JAM with Windows Mobile 2003 SE uses the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. So, I can't verify whether it actually is a Microsoft stack, or as you suggest, a Broadcom one.Browse the CD, under the PocketPC2003\MS is a CAB file. Using ActiveSync from your PC; Explore your JAM and then copy over the CAB file into the JAM. Then, on the JAM, using File Explorer locate the CAB file (probably under My Documents) and tap on it to install itself.Trying to pair up the two devices.
