I've posted some pics of my chordite at http://www.yargybot.com/WearablePC/Chordite/ I intend to do a fairly detailed write-up on it, but it's nearly 3am now...
The subject of sequences, as opposed to chords, has been discussed here and elsewhere, the extreme case being Morse code which needs only one key. At...
I'm very new to this whole "chord-based" keyboard thing (I'd never even heard of them until a few hours ago), but it seems to me that going wireless would be a...
Now and again I hear from folks who, apart from any question about which is the best design, apparently see no big market for wearable keyboards in general. I...
Greetings, all. I was introduced to chorded/chording keyboards many (12+) years ago when I saw the BAT keyboard at Comdex. I remember thinking what a great...
Sometimes words just fail me: http://gadgets.fosfor.se/phantom-wireless-lapboard/ http://phantom.net/home.html I think you're supposed to sit in a chair with...
Poking around with google scholar I discovered today another ME thesis on wearable keyboards, this one at MIT by Alexander Mekelburg, titled "Ergonomic,...
I was just casually googling around today and happened upon a very interesting 64-page project report for a U. Michigan mechanical engineering course; ME...
I found the Chordite site yesterday, and the planets were in the right alignment to spark my interest. Here's what I came up with after a few hours last night...
A friend of mine points out that you can expand the size of the gesture space by taking the order of the button press into account. For example, S is assigned...
I have no idea how he did it but I just put into the files section two very nifty chord diagrams made by Paul Bryant; one each for left- and right-hand units....
Has anybody ever made any charts designed for learning the chords? I've made a reasonable diagram for learning one-key and two-key chords. The three-key chord...
The Mark VIII keyboard is now up at http://blog.russnelson.com/chordite/ ! This one is functional, as opposed to a cardboard mockup. -- --my blog is at...
Have you ever had to participate in one of those corporate-style brainstorming sessions where people blurt out whatever comes to mind while a facilitator...
I just went through the latest SBIR solicitation [1] and no luck: no one is asking for better wearable keyboards. The Army, however, has put forth project...
Hello, I'm sorta new to the chordic input device thing, although it blends nicely with some of my current interests. I came across this story in the back of...
This is for the benefit of anyone who doesn't subscribe to the Wearable Hardware Discussion List [1]. Daniel Hengeveld supplied there a link to a very...
Microsoft is promoting a new, smaller type of tablet PC they call Origami. It looks like it has a stylus but no keyboard at all and will rely on hand writing...
I'm now blogging my keyboard attempts. I'm up to the Mark V, and it's still not quite right. All suggestions gladly entertained. See below: -- --my blog is...
Hmmm.... I've found some nice Marquardt keymodule switches[1], and have gotten some samples. They are actuated using a linear rather than curved movement...
If I wanted to build a one-hander and didn't want to do it precisely as described at chordite.com (using the middle and distal phalanges), I'd put the two...
Since PS/2 is going away (and gone already for the computers of most interest), all commercial keyboards have to migrate. Atmel has been selling keyboard...
I notice that the requirement for adjustability adds considerable mechanical complexity to chordite keyboards. I wonder if, instead, it's possible to make a...
Hmmm.... I notice that the chordite version on the front page could be implemented using the poker chip indexing system (mentioned somewhere on chordite.com,...
Some opinions voiced at Ask Metafilter [1] on wearable keyboards mentioned the Frogpad, Twiddler and chordite-style keyboards. As usual people seem to see...
Well, I built myself a little programmer and tried it out with avrdude and some ATtiny2313s under Linux and Windows. Avrdude 5.0 seemed to like it at first....
You can load a .hex file such as my kbm06.hex into the chip with a "chip programmer" program such as avrdude [1] or Ponyprog [2] that runs on your PC and works...
