You may recall us http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/ thinking outloud about the idea of an advanced keyboard using LCD displays for each key and a touch LCD panel across the top. We call it our Adaptive Keyboard and its an idea that Steven Bathiche has been thinking about for many years in our http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/ Applied Sciences Group . This year we gave prototype hardware to a group of students and asked them to http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2010/Student_Contest.html present their ideas at this years User Interface Software and Technology (UIST) symposium. I headed out to New York to see what the students had come up with and there were plenty of good ideas. You can see the official winners http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2010/Student_Contest.html here . A couple that stood out to me included WHACK, a system to dynamically remap keys so your passwords are always different and cant be captured by keyloggers, several visual clipboard applications,and one application that allowed the keyboard to be a visual interface for editing videos.
