Essentially, we like solving problems.
Consider mobile typing: Current technology assumes that sticking a virtual typewriter into a touchscreen device is the best way to enter text, resulting in keyboards that have more physical bulk than necessary. People want to make the most of their screen space--or get the keyboard off the device completely. We wondered how to make a simpler keyboard that gives users back their screen space and simultaneously satisfies the quest for speed and precision of text entry. We worked hard for two years to prototype and test an array of new text entry techniques, then formed Whirlscape to get the best of these out to the public. First up: Minuum for smartphones, then Minuum for wearable devices and more, with our wearable development kit.
