Invention & Revolution

The  5-­‐TILES  Keyboard  is  a  complete  reinven-on  of  the  keyboard  for  touch  screen  devices    

5-­‐TILES  is  based  on  5  keys  that  take  up  70%  less  space  on  the  screen,  and  are  comfortably  finger-­‐sized  

Typing  works  by  tapping  and  sliding  across  combinaBons  of  keys  

5-­‐TILES  is  the  first  keyboard  that  works  on  smart  watches  

With  a  viable  input  mechanism,  smart  watches  are  no  longer  just  ‘dumb’  alert  receiving  gadgets    

We  are  currently  working  on  prototypes  based  on  Plas-c  Logic  interfaces,  the  Kindle  and  Google  Glass
