For too long, Americans have been using the “shruggie” - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - for all of our emoticon needs. While the shruggie, meant to represent a person offering a resigned shrug (just look at it), is one of the true linguistic gifts of the internet era, there’s a whole wide world of kaomoji out there waiting to take the U.S. Kaomoji are, of course, Japanese-style emoticons, first imported to U.S. Why use kaomoji? They’re more elaborate and more expressive - and also more practical: You don’t need to tilt your head to the side to read them. While some basic kaomoji - the shruggie, the crying face ( _ ), the happy face (^_^) - have been adopted by the internet’s prosumer category, it’s time to close up the kaomoji gap and make America great again. In 2016, take the pledge to use more kaomoji more often. What will be the Next Great ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ? Use this post as a reference for copying-and-pasting.Ī classic. (◕‿◕✿) is, much like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, applicable in almost any situation. Typing Practice Practice typing great quotes from great books and stimulate your mind while exercising your fingers Learn to type faster as you apply the technique taught in our free touch typing lessons. It can be used genuinely, maybe when you’re feeling pretty! But it is also perfect for passive-aggressive messages.We investigate typing on a QWERTY keyboard rendered in virtual reality. Typing Fingers is an interactive app designed to teach efficient touch-typing using a modern teaching approach based on brain analysis. Typing Practice How To Type: Free typing practice, typing lessons and typing tests. Our system tracks users’ hands in the virtual environment via a Leap Motion mounted on the front of a head mounted display. This allows typing on an auto-correcting midair keyboard without the need for auxiliary input devices such as gloves or handheld controllers. It supports input via the index fingers of one or both hands. We compare two keyboard designs: a normal QWERTY layout and a split layout. We found users typed at around 16 words-per-minute using one or both index fingers on the normal layout, and about 15 words-per-minute using both index fingers on the split layout. Users had a corrected error rate below 2% in all cases. To explore midair typing with limited or no visual feedback, we had users type on an invisible keyboard. Users typed on this keyboard at 11 words-per-minute at an error rate of 3.3% despite the keyboard providing almost no visual feedback.
