1. RETHINK THE TYPING INTERFACE
BETWEEN HUMAN AND MACHINE.
The size-shrinkage of mobile computing devices
creates the opportunity for new data-entry alternatives
2. The continued size-shrinkage of
mobile computing devices has
forced people to consider new
data-entry alternatives.
Twitch’s 10 key system makes
typing natural, by placing the keys
directly underneath the user’s
fingertips as they naturally hold their
device, without obscuring the
screen. Twitch’s pending patents
further cover keyless data-entry
methods, where the movement of
the user’s fingers are remotely
detected by any of a variety of
external sensors.

3. Twitch has been appointed as a developer for several exciting
new technologies including Thalmic Lab’s remarkable MYO
armbands, that detect individual finger movements via
electrical impulses given off inside the forearms. This data is
then wirelessly transmitted to Bluetooth enabled, mobile
computing devices where it is interpreted and converted to the
appropriate characters and commands.
It is believed MYO will make possible “Air Twitching ”, so that
users can “type” simply by moving their appropriate fingers in
the air (or even in their pockets) without the use of hardware
keys
