That displaywriter looks so goofy just sitting there w/o the computer for it
Goofier still is how he's one-finger typing on it while staring at the keys from about 2ft away.

Then again, "goofy" is apt for this film. I love it.
That's so true :lol:

The hand of Schwarzenegger gets to grips with (I think) an AT&T terminal in the original "Total Recall".

There are probably quite a few others in that film as well; if I come across them I'll post them.

What seems like a Northgate Omnikey in Point Break (1991) with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.

Not really the actual TV show, but still

Keycaps and faceplate remind me of a WANG terminal with Microswitch switches

I assumed it was a clone honestly. I think you hear them typing briefly

I'll have to see if i can find a picture, but pretty sure the 1996 halmark thriller Tornado! has a IBM display writer in it, when they are at the National Weather Service.

You're right, but whatever, the hall effect keyboards always look gorgeous, I'm eager to ask hahaha.

Yes, a good-looking set. I wish that they made it for Alps or buckling springs.

Well it looks like they appreciate vintage Apple keyboards even in the 24th century...

That's a pretty crude setup for a 24th century research station.

Yeah, what else can be expected from a bunch of clones?

(and so is the keyboard, it'd seem)

I'd vager that is a custom built by the prop department, using SA Dasher keycaps

Dasher inspired, sure, but the screenshot shows some telltale legends as well as sparkly un-yellowed keys. Look at that backslash, versus the original's New Line. And that humburger menu legend next to Pause! The OG has nothing like that:

Image

Totally Zslane's Dasher set. Nice job, actually. In keeping with the original, but fresher, too. I mean, just look at those legends on the right!

A dasher-style keyboard with an embedded trackball like that would be amazing! Needs more keys though such as numpad and extra function/programmable macro keys.

Hello everybody, I don't know if DT's legacy will last for future generations, but some cues on Star Trek discovery (4th season, 12 ep. ) seems to suggest that's all wasted effort what experts have been witnessing and writing on this forum watching at the outcomes showed on the frames attached that contravene the most obvious principles of ergonomics.
Do Virtual holographic keyboards dominate the scene without even offering the comfort of a solid surface feedback? What a pitiful future await us.... :lol:

Typing on virtual glass goes back a ways, far beyond Minority Report, let alone Discovery. The first time I saw it was in 1992's Tenchi Muyo. The show's resident preternaturally young genius, Washu—she's actually as old as the universe itself—is forever conjuring computer interfaces as desired from thin air. She just readies her hands to type and a holographic keyboard appears.

The visual trope may well go back a good bit further than this. We've all seen it done now. And the keys always glow when pressed!

It IS ANSI, after all. How appropriate.
