Beating Dvorak

It sounds like his experiment is quite a lot of fun!

If you take his approach and use the statistics on an individual user's typing habits, and add it to an accurate portrayel of a disabled user's hands, say three movable fingers with one slightly arthritic and inflexible, it would be possible to derive a cost of movement to each key, and therefore derive a layout that minimised this cost. As you say, it is down to the fitness function having an accurate picture of the cost of each movement which relates to the physical discomfort of the user.

Adaptibility

Then you could get it to adapty dynamically every second as your performance varies ;)

Try keeping up with the key changes then!!

Moulding the keyboard

What I was originally thinking when I read gieds posting was that the keyboard would be physically altered in shape and size according to a GA. This is a much harder problem. How about a keyboard that dynamically adapts to fit the user's hand?
