iBIZ Technology's Virtual Keyboard uses laser and infrared technology to projects a full-size keyboard onto any flat surface. As you type on the laser projection, it analyzes what you're typing by the coordinates of that location. The projector weighs two ounces and is the size of a disposable cigarette lighter with no mechanical parts. The device includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery providing an internal power supply of three to four hours. Compatible with PCs and laptops, it runs on Windows 98/2000/XP, and most PDAs using the Palm or Pocket PC operating systems.<>
