Future Study

Cheonji Keys

Cheonji Keys proposes a wearable interface assembled from keycaps separated from their machines. Commands, worn letters, memory, and repetition would move from fingertip scale to the body. The work remains conceptual.

Conceptual direction; physical construction has not begun.

Conceptual only. Possible studies include flexible keycap islands, spacing at joints, and optional low-power interaction at a later stage.

Flex, pressure, sound, and joint clearance remain hypothetical until a physical study exists.

Physical presence

No physical interface, flex, or interaction test is currently verified.

Decision record

No physical failure record exists. The central question is how rigid caps might form readable commands without turning the garment into a shell.

Handling and care

No physical object currently exists to preserve.
