This document discusses virtual keyboards, which project a keyboard interface onto any flat surface that can be typed on using finger motions detected by sensors. It describes how virtual keyboards work using infrared light and sensors to detect finger positions and translate them to keystrokes. The document outlines the components of virtual keyboards like the sensor module, infrared light source, and pattern projector. It also discusses advantages like portability and flexibility, as well as drawbacks like cost and difficulty of use. Virtual keyboards aim to provide full keyboard functionality without the physical constraints of real keyboards.
