Unlike keyboards which use the multiple row QWERTY format, Minuum has managed to condense everything down to a single row while keeping the QWERTY format we&#8217;re familiar with. At first glance, it seems very unlikely to be able to type accurately and efficiently. However,\u00a0<em>Will Walmsley<\/em>, CEO of Whirlscape, reveals just how wrong that assumption is in a video showing the keyboard in action. An Indiegogo campaign was started to fund the project and a stretched goal of $60,000 has been added to build a wearable development kit. As of writing this, they&#8217;ve managed to raise nearly $30,000 with\u00a030 days left on the fundraising campaign. Originally, the goal was to raise just $10,000.<span id=\"more-155027\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Minuum will work with multiple languages and is even capable of being utilized on multiple surfaces thanks to sensors and motion capture.
