You schlep a PDA, cell phone or other handheld gizmo but aren't particularly fond of its cramped keyboard (assuming it even has one). You are loath to carry an accessory keyboard. Entering text is painful. Canesta, whose new chips will turn up in a variety of portable devices during the first half of next year, lets people type on an imaginary standard-size Qwerty keyboard.
Yes, imaginary. You place the Canestasized (my word) device on a table or desk and it projects a laser image of a keyboard onto the flat service. As you peck away on the projected image, Canesta's "electronic perception technology" turns the movement of your fingers into keystrokes. The faux keyboard can even function like a mouse.

I really dont know if i can type without real keys to touch...
anyway it is a cool thing.
, i do like to feel the keys from my keyboard under my fingers. And how the hell to feel which letter to press if you don't feel the keys, I don't like to look at the keyboard.
