Virtual keyboard and monitor?

[mikehende]

Hey guys, a while back I had seen a virtual keyboard which was a light beaming from some apparatus on your desk showing a regular keyboard from which you could type and I saw on a TV show a monitor just popping up from a beam of light. I can't find those on the net, anyone aware of these 2 things please?

1) Projection keyboard
2) People have experimented with many ways of projecting an image into the air. You might be thinking of the "FogScreen", which had some media coverage a while back.

Yes, that was the kb I was referring to, thanks. The Fogscreen on the other hand is not what I had seen in the show, what I had seen is a project of a perfectly shaped monitor right above the table. It was like looking at a regular pc monitor right in front of you.

I think this may have been it: http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?2271672_g10e
I had thought it was some sort of projection light which showed the contents of a pc monitor but seems it's a transparent glass apparatus

well you can't exactly project a beam on thin air.
