Can you image in future when this technology becomes more affordable it could very well be used by radiology for PACS systems.
The Radiologist will no longer have to remember short cut keys, because they will be displayed dynamically on the keyboard depending on the screen they are on.
For instance on a work list screen there may be some icons displayed on the keyboard indicating things like:
- Move patient
- Delete Patient
- Edit Patient
- etc.
- Next slice
- previous slice
- render 3D
- annotation
- exit viewer
- etc.
Now all that radiology needs is a standard set of icons that is universal to all PACS systems and the learning curve between systems will be much shorter!

Some more information and demos as well as some other concept keyboards being developed.
