The virtual keyboard Senseboard exists only inside the computer. Gunilla Alsiö invented this keyboard and together with technicians and designers it is now being developed into a product ready for marketing. Gunilla who is an ergonomist, met many people who were worn out in their arms and shoulders from working at the computer.

The Senseboard is the solution. Two clips on each hand, register the hand movements and translate them into a code which the computer understands. It enables the writer to write on any surface. In 2001 Gunilla received the Best Technology Award at the international fair Comdex in the USA. Her idea was then made known all over the world.

Gunilla's company Senseboard AB was discontinued in 2011. Maybe the Senseboard was ahead of it's time? The development of wearable technology is carried on elsewhere, as KickStarter projects for example.
