Lebedev doesn't stop - Optimus Tactus



The russian designer team (leading by Artemy Lebedev) is thinking about a new shot. According the idea of the Optimus Maximus (a keyboard that can change its layout by applications) now they have a new conception that makes keyboard from "input instrument" to the level of interactive. There's a touch sensitive surface that you can change according applications as well, but here you can ignore the boundery of keys, the whole surface can be used. If you need then for typing, when you need then watching pictures or even you can play video, the line above the numeric keypad can display the calculation, too a'la oldschool calculator. Maybe only the click of the keys, and the feeling of them would be missing, but if I had one, then let it be...

I keep my eyes on the guys since long time, using of the design and the thoughts rise their work to high level, it's pity that can't hear about them in wide circle (and the price of unique, and quality is interstellar, too).
