Hello!

could you point me to information about the keyboards you're talking
about?

you could use the grafitti system used for palms, but Ken Perlin
has something of lots interest on his web page. It's called
quickwriting,
and is actually used for pocket PCs, but I think this could be easily
adapted to VEs.

"Quikwriting is significantly faster and less stressful to use than
Graffiti, and lets you write very quickly without ever picking your
stylus up off the surface, although it has the disadvantage that you
need to learn a special alphabet"

what do you think of that?
