Field notes
The visible demo maps the letter groups to touch or swipe, arrow keys, and a controller’s right stick; Space or RB advances suggestions, while Enter or a controller tap confirms. The page reports 20+ user tests and a 3–5 minute observed learning window, describing these as prototype-session results. It also says a patent application has been filed; no deployed hardware integrations are identified in the extracted material.
