Samsung has shown off five "cutting-edge" projects at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, including the "SelfieType," a virtual keyboard that uses a smartphone's camera.
Created inside Samsung's idea incubation program known as C-Lab Inside, the keyboard utilizes the phone's front-facing selfie camera and artificial intelligence to analyze finger movements before converting the movements into QWERTY keyboard inputs, the South Korean tech giant said in a press release.
"SelfieType requires no additional hardware and it is highly adaptable to various mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops," Samsung wrote on its website.
