Keyboards don’t exactly spring to mind when you think of high-tech innovations, especially now that we have voice and even gesture controls for our gadgets. Still, a new device out of the Georgia Institute of Technology is taking typing in a smart direction.
當提到高科技創新時很少有人想到鍵盤，尤其是現在許多電子產品已經具備了語音甚至手勢操控功能。不過，美國喬治亞理工學院研究的一項新裝置正在將鍵盤操控引向智慧的方向發展。
The Georgia Tech researchers have developed an intelligent keyboard that captures information about the force and length of keystrokes. They say these patterns are unique to different typists and could lead to a new type of biometric security, locking out anyone who doesn’t type like you do.
喬治亞理工學院的研究人員開發了一個可以捕獲按鍵力度和長度資訊的智慧鍵盤。他們表示，這些鍵盤模式對每個打字員都是獨特的，它或可引導一種新的生物識別安全性能，將那些打字類型與主人不同的人都“拒之門外”。
The keyboard can also power itself using something called contact electrification. It generates current when your fingertips touch the keys, which are coated with an electrode material. So we’re talking about a wireless keypad that never needs batteries.
通過“接觸起電”鍵盤還可以為自己充電。當你的指尖觸鍵時它便會產生電流，當然它塗有電極材料。也就是說，這將是一個完全不需要電池的無線鍵盤。
The researchers published a paper about their intelligent keyboard in the journal ACS Nano.
研究人員發表了一篇與此智慧鍵盤相關的論文在《美國化學學會奈米》雜誌上。
Maybe the best feature of the keyboard is that it’s basically made from layers of plastic and has no mechanical keys. That means you could drop crumbs or even spill coffee on it without any damage—forget voice recognition, now you’re talking!
也許該鍵盤最大的特點是，它基本上是由塑膠層製成的而且沒有機械鍵。這意味著不管是掉進去麵包屑甚至是灑上咖啡都不會給它帶來任何損壞——更別說語音辨識了，現在你可以語音操控了!
