Microsoft has announced the winner of a student design contest that it launched in partnership with the
Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, part of the University of the Arts London. 24 students on the college’s MA Industrial Design course took part in the first PC Hardware Design Project competition, established in conjunction with Microsoft to explore new ways of interacting with computing and information technology.
There were twelve finalists, but the winner was 24-year-old Swedish student Victor Johansson, who created a flexible keyboard concept known as KeyFlex. The user can twist, squeeze and bend the keyboard into different shapes.
