Hi there!
I've just registered, nice to meet you all :)

I've came up with a concept of new type of "keyboard" for touchscreen devices (target: mobile phones), the tests went really great, and I am now patenting it. I would like to see your opinions or ideas.

Since I'm new here, Im not allowed to post links, please search "swipewheel" in youtube.

Thanks!
Best regards, Jacek.

Nice to meet you, as well.

If the production of your wheel is as slick as your video, we are all in for a treat.

Can't wait to try it out.

How do you tell the difference between backspace and caps lock? At a quick glance, they both look like counter-clockwise circles within the wheel.

Very cool concept and the core idea is great. I felt like some of the other rules may become difficult to learn and weren't as intuitive as the initial demo so, if your goal is getting users to try it out, I'd suggest keeping your demo a little more concise.

Unique idea though, love the thought process. :)

That seems very innovative design...
If planning, you need to patent it soon before you end up finding Apple has already patented it...:good:

Why? Apple have already patented their keyboard which is the most innovative and magical keyboard in the world. :sarcasm:

Sorry but I am not aware Apple patent. I will be glad if you can share....
and patenting is out of main subject but I'll add last few things as OP has already shared his wish for patenting...
Big companies patents concept not only to apply it to their design, but more importantly to keep new concepts away from their competitors...

I'm not sure if you understood that I was just making a sarcastic comment about how Apple wouldn't need another keyboard because they think their's is the best in the world.

Very cool looking. I don't usually try new keyboards, but yours looks extremely interesting. I think the link to your website on the YouTube page is misspelled. it shows swipewhel, instead of swipewheel.com. look forward to trying your keyboard out.

Looks interesting. I'd be interested to test it out as well.

Does it also take multitouch to swipe out letters twice as fast? Since you can already resize the circle already =]

    Just curious but has there been any progress on the development? Thanks

    Almost one month and a half without any news from OP... is this project still under development or it's been discontinued? :confused:

    Apostrophes should be automatically placed, and the delete gesture removes it should you not need it (when you actually want "its" without one).
    Inserting a space by lifting your finger would be conditional (not when adding commas, full stops etc).
    Another idea I've always wanted but never seen is when highlighting a word or words, instead of just cut, copy, paste option, you have options to wrap the word or words in " ", ' ' or ( ).

    Thank you for sharing your opinion, I really appreciate each comment and idea.
    You know, the app demo only shows "raw letter input method", of course in final app, there will be auto-correct and other improvements available.
    Best regards, Jack.
