Apple advances all-glass MacBook project with virtual keyboard and trackpad

Apple is advancing its project for an all-glass MacBook featuring a virtual keyboard and trackpad. A new patent published recently confirms that the company is still actively developing this technology, which aims to eliminate physical keys. The design includes haptic feedback to simulate the feel of a real keyboard. Previous patents have explored using flexible screens and electrostatic charges to enhance the typing experience, making it more comfortable and responsive. While Apple has previously moved away from soft keyboards in its products, this continuation patent indicates that the company remains committed to finding a viable solution for a fully virtual typing experience.
