No, its not crazy thinking. you know there is this approach where scientists use a silicon-like layer to \
inflate buttons, so the user gets tactile feedback when pressing the button. The link is here:
http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/pneumaticdisplays/

what could be possible is to merge those 2 approaches: use the silicon to allow multitouch (mouse) and  - \
when reqested - let the silicon be inflated with air so a full keyboard pops up. this is just an idea on \
how the keyboard problem may be solved.
