Abstract

This paper describes a "relative keyboard," where keystrokes are treated as inputs in a continuous space relative to each other, instead of a discrete, unambiguous sequence. A user with the ability to touch-type may type anywhere on the sensing surface without the need for a visual keyboard. An implementation of such a system is explored and evaluated on simulated data and real user data.
