Tencent Digital (Compiler: Human) Apple launched a new generation of MacBook Pro notebooks at its just-released conference and once again exceeded the height of our products. In addition to the new flagship MacBook Pro in addition to lighter and thinner body, the most eye-catching is no doubt through the Touch Bar touch bar to replace the traditional physical buttons on the keyboard, and this feature is the largest innovation in the new MacBook Pro .
However, the day before the Apple conference, Microsoft also held a conference to launch its Surface Studio and Surface Dial accessories that were created specifically for creative designers and professionals. In fact, before Apple, Microsoft Research has developed a keyboard similar to the Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro, but it is more advanced than Apple, and it uses the full touch method, including the keyboard.
From the demo, we see that Microsoft released the concept keyboard of the year at the 2010 UIST conference, and it has a stronger adaptability. This concept keyboard is very similar to Apple's Touch Bar. It also uses LEDs to display different content on the top of the keyboard, and can display different content and control methods according to different apps.
It seems that Microsoft's design is more liberal than that of Apple, and it has already begun a successful demonstration on the prototype. If the future of Microsoft's keyboard really applied to the actual product, but also more powerful than Apple's Touch Bar, after all, the touch area is larger, to provide more features.
As for why Microsoft had already developed a prototype product as early as 2010, it has not been used in actual products. In fact, the answer is very simple. The keyboard is an input tool designed for large-scale touch-control devices. Most of the Windows 10 system devices today are basically two-in-one hybrids or simple notebooks, or they already have touches. The control screen and the door itself are equipped with physical keyboards, and this function also needs to have a higher degree of integration with the Windows 10 system, so it is a big project.
It seems that both Apple and Microsoft have seen the advantages of this type of touch keyboard that can display different control methods based on different application content. In the future, we may see more products with similar designs. At present, Apple has taken a step forward, and Microsoft has more advanced technologies waiting for us.
