木质触控板或将问世

Touch Slab

新华网9月13日电 科技博客Gizmodo报道，法国设计品牌Orée曾实现了木材和科技的完美结合，开创性地推出了令人惊艳的木质键盘，成功俘获了无数消费者的心。现在Orée准备再出重拳，推出苹果和罗技触控板的木质替代品Touch Slab。

Touch Slab如何能透过木材准确捕捉到使用者的手势尚未可知，但想必这不成问题，因为Orée方面表示，将于10月中旬推出这款产品，售价为200美元。

Touch Slab将继续延续“无线”特点：靠充电电池供电，使用蓝牙连接到Mac或Windows系统。

Whoa, This (Working) Trackpad Is made from a Block of Wood

The French designers over at Orée first had us oohing and aahing over their beautiful maple and walnut keyboards; one of the rare times when wood and technology blended perfectly. And now they\'ve gone and stolen our hearts again with a warm alternative to Apple and Logitech\'s sterile touchpadsthat it\'s calling the Touch Slab.

How exactly the keyboard sidekick manages to detect your finger gestures through a layer of maple or walnut wood with minimal electrical conductivity remains a mystery, but for $200, available mid-October, we\'re going to assume Orée\'s already found a way to make it work.

The touchpad also does away with unsightly wires, relying on a rechargeable battery and a Bluetooth connection to your Mac or Windows system.
