Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has shared a video on his Instagram page where he used a virtual keyboard developed by Meta's Reality Labs.

He said that the Reality Labs research turns any flat surface into a virtual keyboard with touch typing.

Zuckerberg informed that a typing race was conducted and Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth (Boz) won the competition.

Zuckerberg said he clocked around 100 words per minute but Boz clocked in at almost 120 words per minute.

In the video, we can see a large QR code on a table and people typing as if there is a keyboard there.

"You see in mixed reality a projection of a keyboard on the desk in front of you but it's not really there and you type," Andrew Bosworth said in an Instagram AMA adding that he hopes this turns into a product someday.

According to a report in online magazine MIXED, this demo relies on computer vision and mixed reality. Meta's Quest 2 headset was used by Zuckerberg and his team, the report said.
