The TiltType Keyboard is an experiment in touch-based text input and UX design. It wasn't intended to replace our day-to-day keyboards, as it is not much more than a polished proof-of-concept, but I do think it shows real promise. It's something that was fun to build, is still fun to play with, and which I hope can in some ways contribute to or influence other such experiments in the future. Enjoy!
