Although in recent years the screen size of the phones has grown significantly, it is still much smaller than a standard keyboard, which forces us to type with only one or two thumbs.

Although something similar has been tried for a long time by means of infrared keyboards, which detected the movement of the fingers on a painted keyboard on the table but, never finished curdling.

Now Samsung has developed an application for smartphones and tablets, which allows you to use any surface as a virtual keyboard.

The user writes the text normally and the camera of the device reads these movements and converts them into characters.

We must place ourselves on a flat surface while writing, for example on a table, and the smartphone or tablet should be placed so that the hands fall into the field of view of the front camera.
