德国公司推出另类“沙袋键盘”
A Berlin firm has created an alternative keyboard - made of punchbags.
德国一家公司近日推出一款另类“沙袋键盘”。
To type, users simply hit or kick the key they want.
Created by German firm Bless for the 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial, the firm said it wanted to make typing a 'full body experience'.
Bless is a fashion/design studio created in 1997 by Ines Kaag, based in Berlin, and Desiree Heiss in Paris.
"We find it terribly outdated to have a day split into a working time and a leisure time," the firm's founders said.
'The Workoutcomputer constitutes a new live/work balance manifesto.
'A computer with a distributed keyboard made of punching bags, the Workoutcomputer ensures that typing becomes a full-body experience.'
Each of the pads contains a sensor linked to a laptop, allowing messages to be written and sent.
