This Modular Slate Can Perform Several Different Functions
Katherine Pendrill — August 27, 2015 — Tech
The 'Sensel Morph' is a modular slate that is designed to replace several different desktop accessories. In recent years, companies have begun to do away with accessories such as keyboards, mice and card readers. This means that many people are forced to carry around extra devices if they need these tools to carry out their work.
The Sensel Morph solves this problem by combining a number of different accessories in a single modular slate. While the device resembles a basic trackpad, it is actually capable of performing various different functions. Users can draw on the device with their fingers, a stylus or a paintbrush. The device can also be used as a Bluetooth keyboard with the addition of a simple magnetic overlay.
The all-in-one gadget helps eliminate the need to carry around multiple desktop accessories at once.
