  I have always wondered who ever thought the projection keyboard would be
a good idea. Even the stupidest person must see that it's impractical and
just doesn't work.

  Why? Because it lacks the tactile feedback. Most people who are experienced
at typing don't look at the keyboard when they type.

  If you tried to type on a flat surface with no tactile feedback whatsoever,
you would inevitably start to slowly drift until you are not hitting the
keys properly. In a physical keyboard this is avoided because you can feel
the keys and thus you automatically keep the focus on the keys. On a
projected keyboard this would be impossible, and it would be really
impractical to try to type without looking at the keyboard, and having
to look at the keyboard is very impractical to people who know how to
type without looking at it, because then they don't see the text.
