Computer Scientists Design New Keyboard Layout On Touch Screen Devices

Red Orbit: The research team of Antti Oulasvirta at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics has created a new keyboard called KALQ that enables faster thumb-typing on touchscreen devices.

A user study confirmed that, after a short amount of practice, users could type 34% faster than they could with a QWERTY layout.
