Integrate into VR-MR world, virtual keyboard will end all physical input methods

The idea of virtual keyboards isn't new. In fact, projection keyboards have already been on the market for a while, but they haven’t seen widespread success. However, with the rise of mixed reality and the growing acceptance of touch input thanks to smartphones, this concept of eliminating physical hardware is once again gaining attention. Microsoft recently filed a patent for a new type of virtual keyboard in mixed reality, which could potentially eliminate not just physical keyboards, but all traditional input methods like mice and styluses. This development is significant because VR is becoming more integrated into everyday life, including high-end shopping experiences. The following sections will explore what this shift really means for the future of user interaction. ![Virtual Keyboard Image](http://i.bosscdn.com/blog/d4/7e/64/9fde0093abdeb2ca00dfba0762.jpg) **1. Acceptance** There was a time when people were hesitant to use on-screen keyboards. Humans are creatures of habit, and we’ve become used to physical buttons. The absence of tactile feedback made it uncomfortable for many users, leading to poor sales for early virtual input devices. But with the success of smartphones and their on-screen keyboards, people have gradually become more accepting. Today, most smartphones support on-screen keyboards, and physical keyboards are used less than 10% of the time. **2. Hololens Challenges** Hololens users face a big challenge: how to type efficiently. While a physical keyboard can be used, Hololens is meant to be a mobile device, making carrying a physical keyboard impractical. Additionally, the camera isn’t always accurate enough to recognize hand movements, so a virtual keyboard is often needed. **3. Virtual Keyboards** Microsoft’s latest patent focuses on using virtual hands in a holographic environment. It's like having a virtual tablet with a keyboard that adapts to different users. With precise hand tracking and depth perception, the system can simulate typing as if it were on a real keyboard. Users can type in mid-air or on any flat surface, making the experience more natural and flexible. **4. Mice, Styluses, and More** If virtual keyboards can be fully realized, it makes sense that other input devices like mice and styluses could also be virtualized. Though some users might still prefer a stylus, the idea of replacing them with digital alternatives is becoming more feasible. For example, game controls could be simulated virtually, allowing for more immersive experiences without the need for physical peripherals. Imagine driving simulations where you use a real steering wheel, but the connection between the device and the software is entirely virtual. This could lead to more affordable yet realistic control systems. All you need is a depth-sensing camera, which is much cheaper than connecting a real steering wheel to a PC. **5. Summary** When it comes to emerging technologies, we often approach them with old thinking. But as time passes, companies start to understand the unique possibilities these technologies offer and begin to adapt their designs accordingly. Think of the first four-wheeled car — it wasn’t built like a horse-drawn carriage, but it revolutionized transportation. Mixed reality is on a similar path. Microsoft’s patents show that companies are starting to rethink how we interact with digital environments. Eventually, we may realize that we don’t even need something that looks like a keyboard at all. This kind of innovation requires us to think outside the box. Mixed reality, with its ability to reshape reality itself, is one of the best environments for such creative thinking. As we move further into a more virtual world, these advancements will play a crucial role in shaping our future interactions.
