It is becoming increasingly difficult for users to interact with the slew of portable gadgets they carry, especially in the area of text entry. To solve this problem, we proposed a Virtual Keyboard. This device will replace a physical keypad with a customizable keyboard printed on a standard A3 size paper whose “keystrokes” are read and translated to real input. In addition, buttons on this device can be reconfigured on-the-fly to give a new keyboard layout using a GUI we built in Mat lab and then transferring that data to the device using a computer’s serial port.
