Google Japan unveils conveyor-belt keyboard with moving keys

Original: Google Japan shows off conveyor-belt keyboard with keys that move to fingers

Google Japan has revealed a 3D-printable experimental keyboard that uses four conveyor belts, each carrying 29 keys, so the letters move toward the user's fingers instead of the fingers reaching for the keys. The device, part of the Gboard hardware series, is designed to make one-handed typing easier and can be built by anyone using the published designs.

Why now: The unusual, playful design of a keyboard whose keys physically move to the fingers is novel and highly shareable among tech enthusiasts.
