someone asked me that on the chat room they are new and well I figure I try to help them out. Does anyone know the name of the keyboard that he uses on the show? or is it just prop with computer effects?

this keyboard here. Sorry I know this is not a good picture to show but this be the one he provided me for help so. if anyone knows please let me know and I'll let them know thanks.
(updated) he supplied me two more pictures it looks like a basic touch pad. But it might just be a computer effect added into the show.

I think he just made the motions of slidding the imaginary screen on a regular lcd screen and the CGI people who did kitt's HUD put in the cgi stuff like ki3t's windsheild.

That's what I told the kid that came in the chat room last night. as thats just way to big for a ipad style touch screen i know of a few but they are not that huge. He was also looking into getting a kitt orb but I think he was to young as he needs parental permission to sign up to this forum. But hey a kid can dream right?

Though I agree this is most likely done with CGI in this case, I believe it is designed to look like a multitouch interface/control. With the design of the new Windows 8 interface, I have a feeling that it won't be long before we begin to see input devices like this in the real world.
