Ok thanks, I probably need to see it, not the most visual thinker so hard for me to envision the idea.
Yeah at first I did this as a fun sideproject a fun way of doing something of absolutely no use to anybody. Then I thought of accessibility issues, now my focus is somewhat on VR, where I envision that keyboards will break the immersion and pointing and moving a pointer on a virtual keyboard would be fun for consumer tasks, but for actual work say programming and whatnot it simply doesn't cut it.
Well imagine if you would like to draw as many intervals of any given shape but with the same length on a line.
Let's start out with a line. Then you can only have so many symbols given by the height.
To continue if we instead where to space them out over the circumference of a circle, we would on the same width have more symbols.
If we go even further and give the circle jagged edges that go in and out. Theoretically we have an infinite length on the line, but resolution on screen and eyes sets an stop to that.
So basically making use of the area of the screen instead of only a line.
Did I make more sense to you? The fractal thingy is just an experiment and not the main point of the comment so I gave a very brief description of it. It may very well be that my capabilities of describing it in proper mathematical is a bit lacking.
Will have a demo of it within a few days or so if you are interested keep your eyes open.
