A great idea though.
As its only a picture I guess several ways.

My idea would be to have it have its own processor of sorts, that when just plugged into a usb port with no driver software, it would act in dumb mode and display standard keys and send standard key commands to the machine.. you could then have software to allow it to be programmed, to display different things.. just a plug in for many apps would reprogramme it..

From a programmers point of view imagine how it could expand on your apps, and how much you could change the way a computer is used...
