PunchKeyboard: Typing can be a pretty difficult test, especially when you hold something on both hands, and that's especially true in virtual reality where you have to keep the game controls constantly.
A developer, however, seems to have found a very practical way to overcome this particular difficulty.
Freelance VR developer Jonathan Ravasz developed one functionalτατο keyboard virtual reality that allows you to type without leaving the game controls. PunchKeyboard is essentially a visual input interface that lets you use your grips to type in VR.
Visually it looks like one typewriter, but the app has been enhanced with auto-complete features and next word prediction to further simplify the typing process.
The virtual keyboard's smart features use data from Reddit's talks as sources, but Ravasz assures it can easily do so by custom dictionaries.
Check out a small video on how PunchKeyboard works:
In case you want to know more about the RunchKeyboard, Ravasz has documented the application's development approach and motivation in blog of.
Ravasz has uploaded all the code and an executable demo file to his repository at GitHub, so you can access the RunchKeyboard code. The application is open source, which means you can make any changes you want.
As RoukKeyboard developer explains, game developers can easily integrate it into their games.
