Samsung launches an invisible keyboard that works with the selfie camera

Recently, Samsung introduced an 'invisible' keyboard that allows users to type text comfortably on smartphones to replace traditional keyboards. This special keyboard is called SelfieType, developed by Samsung C-Lab laboratory.

The idea of ​​an invisible keyboard is not new. Previously a laser projector was used to simulate the physical keyboard on any surface, but it was slow and inconvenient because a laser projector was always required.

SelfieType uses the selfie camera of smartphones and AI to identify the position and movement of the user's fingers, thereby identifying the characters typed on the invisible keyboard. With SelfieType, you won't have to carry around any other accessories so it's convenient.

Using SelfieType, you will not be able to see the keys but have to rely on the feeling and memory for each key position to type. It can be said that SelfieType is exactly an invisible keyboard.

It sounds difficult, in fact this is quite simple for those who often have to type text on a regular keyboard.

With SelfieType, feel free to work, edit documents anywhere and anytime. Samsung's invisible keyboard may be the last resort to replace a traditional keyboard.
