Camilo Landau
Mobile Typing Glove
The HandWriter is a wearable device that serves as a mobile keyboard and mouse. It is also an inexpensive Braille writer. Just plug it into any USB-enabled device and you can begin typing with one hand.
The one-handed typing glove allows users to type free of a keyboard providing freedom of movement and freedom from repetitive stress injury. The one-handed device can be used with either the left or right hand.
It is based on Dr. Douglas Engelbart's original chorded key set and uses a combination of finger presses to type the entire alphabet. The alphabet is as simple to learn as the Alphabet in American Sign Language.
