3D Printer 

3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. Layer by layer, which is called additive manufacturing, material (such as plastic) is deposited to create a 3D object. Toys, instruments, jewelry and many other objects can be created using 3D Printers.

Virtual Keyboard
           
       

 Virtual Keyboard

Virtual Keyboards, sometimes called projection keyboards, use a laser or beam that projects a virtual keyboard onto a level surface. An input device specific for a tablet or smartphone allows the user to type as if they were using a real keyboard. A sensor picks up finger movements and the software converts the actions into characters. 

Great for devices with no physical keyboard or when there is no room for one.
