Caracol is a computer keyboard just for one hand using a rotary keyboard on a wheel through which you slip your palm.
“The Caracol Keyboard was inspired by snail, by the way it behaves around its shell. With this loop structure, the keys move to the fingers instead of the other way around. It have a gear box that provides a 5:1 raito and a little move to the right or left makes the loop spins in such a way that the hand can easily reach all the keys.”
The keyboard has the conventional keys order “QWERTY” but it uses a symmetry for combining the movements of two hands just in one.
It looks very interesting but I wonder how comfortable it is and how fast can you type with it. Time will tell if this concept will become reality. [ via Gadgettastic ]
