Keyboards + editors #31

As seen in Dynamicland, having keyboards in the space that can be used to edit code using "editor papers" is key. Some ideas for how we can do this:

Multiple keyboards connected to one computer, and then write some native program that somehow sends events to the browser (how?).
Each keyboard has its own little computer attached to it (which computer and how?), which then sends events to the paperprograms server, which then sends those events to the browser (will the latency be low enough?).

Personally, I have been wanting to experiment more with integration physical sensors (accelerometers, light sensors, sound sensors, etc) and robotics (things that react from input by the system). I see keyboards as just one type of sensor input and it would be nice to find a more general solution than only supporting keyboards.

Maybe the first step would be a route to the HTTP API to support updating the data about a program?
