It transcends the ordinary workspace into that of the metaverse. This keyboard allows users to dive into the 3D realms of digital spaces using its intuitive functions. Product designer Heewon Jung and Designer [DOt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nemonic-dot) worked together to create the keyboard. They ensured that the device synced with [virtual reality and augmented reality technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-ergonomic-keyboard) to work beyond the 2D sphere. The keyboard is equipped with a [special trackpad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-keyboard) dubbed Wormhole to allow users to access the metaverse space. Once activated, the keyboard transports the user into a mixed reality workspace with help from the uni-directional touchpad as a navigation tool.
