Tactus Technology

Tactus Technology
I was unable to get a lot of information about this technology but what I found on my own due to the message below on the provided article was quite interesting. 

There is a layer or film over the glass screen on the device. You enable the keyboard and "bubbles" appear over the letters and numbers. This allows you to more accurately type since the keys are then raised. After you finish typing they essentially "go away". They are constructed by using a film and oil. After you finish typing the oils go from being collected under the keys to a flat touch screen surface again. I personally would not be interested in this product as I have small hands/ fingers and have no troubles when using the touch screen keypad/keyboard. I could see those with issues using the small keys on a device enjoying this product as it makes typing for them easier because there are recognizable places to press to engage the key to product the desired letter or number. My fear with this product would be over time the oils dissipate and not function correctly anymore. I know that with any technology a fear of it being so fancy and having to be replaced to often or soon can be a deterrent for some when looking at making technological purchases. I did find it interesting but not for me.
