Inspiration

In a world dominated by convenience and efficiency, we asked ourselves one bold, revolutionary question: "What if we could make typing infinitely worse?" While the rest of humanity tirelessly innovates to improve productivity, we felt that the modern typing experience lacked the chaos and frustration of life's true unpredictability.

Inspired by the randomness of spilled soup on a keyboard and the tactile delight of slapping a table in rage, PolyVisus was born.

What it does

PolyVisus uses Computer Vision to allow you type on any flat surface—but with a twist. The keyboard layout isn’t static; it shuffles unpredictably after every few keystrokes. Gone are the days of mundane QWERTY dominance! Now, every typing session is a journey into chaos, where typing "hello" might require finding H in the bottom-left corner and E halfway up the table.

Challenges we ran into

1. Users Refused to Use It: We underestimated how few people would willingly participate in our typing torment. Turns out, most people enjoy efficiency. Who knew?
2. Frustration-Induced Hardware Damage: Testers frequently slammed their tables in anger, confusing the model into thinking they were typing "ASDFASDF."
3. Latency-Induced Chaos: The deliberate delay in key recognition was so annoying that even we, the creators, struggled to demo it without swearing.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We achieved our primary goal of making typing as painful and counterproductive as humanly possible.

What we learned

Building a project no one needs or wants is oddly fulfilling, especially when it works exactly as horribly as intended.
