Transcript

Google built a keyboard where you don't move your fingers to the keys. The keys move to you. They're mounted on rotating conveyor belts, so you wait for the letter you want to roll past and press it at the right moment. Each belt carries 29 keys, and Google says the whole thing can be used with one hand. They're not selling it either. Google released the files so you can build this ridiculous keyboard yourself.
