Microsoft announces keyboard for Android Wear devices; see how it works with this video

Microsoft has introduced what it calls an "analog" keyboard for Android Wear powered devices. Still considered a prototype by the software giant, this keyboard uses your handwritten letters to input text on a smartwatch. The keyboard will even allow you to enter special characters, along with numbers and letters.

The keyboard supports square screens with a 320 x 320 resolution and the Motorola Moto 360. When using the keyboard, you simply write in the letter, number, punctuation or special character that you want. While you are drawing on a cursor, the top of the screen prints out what you have just written.

The video below, produced by Microsoft, shows a couple of uses for the keyboard. One example shows the keyboard being used for messaging, followed by an example of it being used for search.
