Projected Mousepad
Virtual Mousepad.

Projected keyboards have been around for 3 or so years . I propose that someone produce a projected keyboard that also projects a mousepad. A collapsible, inert mouse (i.e. a mouse-shaped hunk of plastic) could accompany it to make using it feel more natural.

As an interesting note, as with electromagnetic induction mousepads, a projected mousepad allows for cordless mouse usage without need of batteries in the mouse itself.

       It could work without a mouse. Drag your fingers around the projected "pad" area, to point. It would need to be able to detect right and left-click, and click-drag. If you mouse over the virtual keypad, maybe it could change to a mousepad automatically.
