What are the features of a concept keyboard?

Answer 1

A concept keyboard is a flat board which contains a grid of switches. Each switch can be programmed to do whatever you want. An overlay image is placed on top of the grid so that the user can tell what pressing on different areas (switches) will do. Example uses of concept keyboards include :

• Games for young children : The overlay image could be a picture of a farmyard. Pressing on an animal would cause the computer to make the noise the animal does.
• Tills in restaurants/pubs : The overlay contains a list of all the meals that can be sold. Instead of typing in prices the waiter simply presses the keyboard where the meals/drinks he is serving are listed.

Concept keyboards are particularly useful for people who would find using an ordinary keyboard difficult and in locations where an ordinary keyboard might be damaged, e.g. by spillage or dust.
