Mit seiner Optimus-Tastatur sorgte das russische Design-Studio “Art. Lebedev” bereits vor einigen Woche für viel Aufsehen, denn jede einzelne Taste der Optimus-Tastatur ist ein eigenes kleines Display.

Das Desginstudio “Art-Lebedev Studio” stellt einige Antworten auf häufig gestellt Fragen zur Verfügung.

• It’s in the initial stage of production.
• We hope it will be released in 2006.
• It will cost less than a good mobile phone.
• It will be real.
• It will be OS-independent (at least it’s going to be able to work in some default state with any OS).
• It will support any language or layout.
• Moscow is the capital of Russia.
• Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence.
• It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available.
• Some day it will be split (and made “ergonomic”).
• It will most likely use the OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow).
• Our studio is located two blocks from the Kremlin.
• It will feature a key-saver.
• Keys could be animated when needed.
• It has a numeric keypad because we love it.
• There’s no snow in Moscow in summer.
• It will be available worldwide (why not?)
• OEM is possible (why not?)
