The concept is simple enough: It’s a keyboard with transparent keys and a screen underneath. The screen displays the labels for the keys, while the transparent plastic keys provide the physical haptic interface for the typist. The device uses a Raspberry Pi to drive the screen.

This eliminates the need for traditional key switches, which would block light from the screen below.
