LoCoS Keyboard

This is a keyboard (human interface device, HID) designed by Yuiko Ota with the intention of allowing users to type using his LoCoS (Lovers' Commintication System).

Based upon a English QUERTY keyboard (which is included), this LoCoS provides buttons for the most commonly used LoCoS symbols, along with dedicated keys to combine these symbols into new ones.

Human-Computer Interaction Series.” This chapter written by Aaron Marcus is titled “m-LoCoS UI: A Universal Visible Language for Global Mobile Communication.” Here, Marcus explores potential input systems for LoCoS on mobile devices.
