Major companies like Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Samsung, and Amazon have submitted a fresh wave of futuristic patents that could redefine everyday life.
Apple’s Invisible Keyboard: A new patent reveals Apple is working on a virtual keyboard projected onto any flat surface, which detects finger pressure and hand gestures in mid-air.
Meta’s Brain-Controlled Typing Interface: Meta has filed a patent for a wearable neural interface allowing users to type and navigate digital environments using only their thoughts.
