Moroccan Youssef Taleb, founder of Provok Developments, is set to launch the world’s first tablet computer with an embedded virtual laser keyboard device.
Taleb told Regent’s University London the idea behind the project is to create a tablet specifically designed for business environments in which a mini-projector and laser keyboard are embedded.
“The tablet is meant to disrupt the way businesses make presentations. Its inbuilt mini projector makes it possible to project any content on a wall, while the laser keyboard technology turns any surface into a touch keyboard. It is also equipped with a stylus remote making it ideal for presentations,” he said.
Taleb said the tablet comes with a series of applications exclusive to the brand, such as a business card scanner and concierge services.
“To complement the entire project, I have worked hard with designers to turn it into a modern and elegant tablet that can not only complement its functions, but also render it as “sexy” for the user. With its black anodised aluminum alloy, it reflects the image of the accomplished businessman,” Taleb said.
To ensure the success of the project, he said the team is preparing to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
“In order to ensure its success, we need to build an audience, and hence, really count on the support of our family, friends, colleagues,” he said.
In a recent Facebook post to clarify insinuations the team was reinventing the wheel, Provok Development said what the team is doing is using “two wheels to make a stronger and innovative bicycle”.
It said: “Our approach consists of combining innovative software and cutting-edge technologies with modern and elegant designs to produce an exclusive product.
“We are a global technology company aimed at bringing to market a truly innovative tablet brand. Our approach consists of combining innovative software and cutting-edge technologies with modern and elegant designs to produce exclusive products.”
