Laser Keyboard Kit

Here comes the latest verion2 designed by RoboPeak, more compact, more reliable and a 3D printed framework!   Using lasers to create a virtual keyboard? This seems to be only existing in sci-fi movies. Well, with this Laser Keyboard Kit, you will not only be able to tap on laser projections as the keyboard, but also program it to be anything you want, such as a laser multi-touch pad. With a few quick and simple assemblings and calibratings, your laser projection keyboard is ready to glow in the dark!     A laser projection keyboard is a form of computer input device whereby the image of a virtual keyboard is projected onto a surface: when a user touches the surface covered by an image of a key, the device records the corresponding keystroke. The projection is realized in four main steps and via three modules: projection module, sensor module and illumination module. The main devices and technologies used to project the image are a diffractive optical element, red laser diode, CMOS sensor chip and an infrared (IR) laser diode.     This Laser Projection Keyboard Kit V2 is based on the open-source laser keyboard project designed by RoboPeak Team. It works just like a standard keyboard on your PC/MAC with the help of the related signal processing software designed by RoboPeak. The signal processing software also supports turning your laser keyboard kit into a multi-touch pad. As an open-source project, you can freely make any changes/improvement to the current design and go through the implementation detail of the kit.      Application
