Cah Pacing
At Intel’s CES press event this morning, they showed off a very interesting Ultrabook prototype called Nikiski. The Nikiski has a unique design featuring a clear glass touchpad that takes up the space underneath the keyboard which is usually reserved for your palm rest.
The touchpad acts like any regular touchpad, but it has the ability to detect when your wrists or palms are resting on the touchpad, palm rejection kicks in so the cursor isn’t moved accidentally. But that’s not the impressive part of the Nikiski prototype. When the Nikiski is closed, the transparent touchpad allows the user to see and interact with information on their computer. This is called the Nikiski Reveal mode.
Users can swipe through calendar info, news feeds, even surf WebPages. Then when the Nikiski is opened, the computer resumes in the same context that the user was working in during Reveal mode. Nikiski is still just a concept PC but it’s now functional and Intel expects to work with partners this year to make it a reality.
