Patent ID: 8686951

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a non-flexible multi-touch display layer to receive multi-touch inputs; a texturizing polymer layer above the non-flexible multi-touch display layer, the texturizing polymer layer comprises in part of gel material; a controller to control the non-flexible multi-touch display layer and the texturizing polymer layer, wherein the controller elevates a surface area in a predetermined area of the texturizing polymer layer to a level to texturize a key on a virtual keyboard displayed on the non-flexible multi-touch display layer; sensors electrically coupled to the controller, wherein the sensors detect different gestures for the elevated surface area; and wherein the different gestures are based on a finger push applied to a portion of the elevated surface area to cause displacement of the gel material and the different gestures are based on a detected multi-touch input, by the non-flexible multi-touch display layer, received through the elevated surface area of the texturizing polymer layer.
