Cool Leaf design does away with buttons, says hello to the future

From Japanese company Minebea comes Cool Leaf, a mirrored, highly reflective, and button-less design made for various input devices.  Following in the footsteps of the Cleankeys keyboard, the Cool Leaf keyboard features a completely flat surface, making the process of cleaning and dusting it too easy.  A special film is incorporated on top of the input surface and recognizes your fingers when you go to press its “non-physical”buttons.  Back lights are also there to help guide the touch experience.  Minebea plans on bring the technology to market sometime in future, when these designs belong!  Check out the gallery below to see Cool Leaf resting atop a remote control and a calculator.
