“I want to make wearable and portable computing more practical, but keyboards must be on-screen or carried in a backpack. Exotic models, e.g., chording keyboards, require relearning to type. A simple solution is to build something with a familiar button layout that can be worn like a guitar. Although, a keytar is more appropriate.
