In addition to the Gboard virtual keyboard created by Google for gadgets running Android and iOS, the Google Japan development team has proposed a new Gboard Spoon Bending device that provides a more convenient way to enter characters.
The Spoon Bending version of Gboard Spoon Bending is based on the body's flexibility: you type characters by bending the spoon.
All you have to do is connect the Gboard version of Spoon Bending to your smartphone or computer, bend the spoon and type in the corresponding letter at that angle. The smaller the bend, the closer the letter to the beginning is to the alphabet, and the greater the bend, the farther the letter is from the beginning.
Even more intriguing is that if you can bend the spoon with your mind, the character input process can be sped up. The Google Japan team has released the design notes, sketches, firmware, and more, so you can even use your home 3D printer to make your own Gboard Spoon Bending version.
Some may be confused by the rather funny Gboard Spoon Bending form factor, but according to Google Japan, this is the most suitable solution for simplifying data entry at the moment.
