Competition
Keyglove Wearable Input DeviceAbout:The Keyglove Wearable Input Device features a touch-based full keyboard and a motion-based full mouse control with vibration feedback and audible tone feedback. It is currently in the prototyping phase.Our Competitive Advantage:Twerty would implement a more intuitive typing modality using the QWERTY keyboard layout. Additionally, our device would provide tactile feedback to the user during a key stroke. In this way, we hope that a new user can adjust to Twerty with little frustration.Further information: Keyglove Wearable Input Device |

The Magic CubeAbout:The Magic Cube is a portable, desktop, laser projection keyboard that allows users to type on flat surfaces without the need of a physical keyboard. It currently retails for $169.00.Our Competitive Advantage:Though more portable than a traditional keyboard, The Magic Cube requires a large flat surface to project the virtual keyboard onto. Twerty would allow the users to type on much smaller and irregular surfaces as compared to the Magic Cube. Additional, our product would be self contained within the gloves and would not require the additional projection device.Further information: The Magic Cube |

Acceleration Sensing GloveAbout:Researchers at UC Berkeley have prototyped a gesture deciphering glove to demonstrate that accelerometers can be utilized to translate hand gestures into computer interpreted symbols. This is currently an academic project still in the prototyping phase.Our Competitive Advantage:Unlike Twerty, the Acceleration Sensing Glove only senses rudimentary gestures and does not currently implement a working keyboard.Further information: Acceleration Sensing Glove |
