Claudito Typing Animation Sketches

Version 1

let's try claudito typing on a keyboard
Initial version with rectangular legs and basic keyboard layout.

Version 2

The keys need to look more distinctive... leverage SVG for the actual legs typing on the keys
Refined key styling and leg positioning.
claudito-typing-v2.svg

Version 3

The keys need to be more distinctive... vague idea on typing animation with perlin noise...
Added 3D key gradients and exploring animation concepts.

Version 4

The original four thin legs should be preserved. I'm imagining they have wave oscillations...
Preserving thin legs with wave-based movement exploration.
claudito-typing-v4.svg

Version 5

The back of the legs should be more fixed to the body, and they should stretch out during their movement
Fixed leg anchors at body, stretching motion.
claudito-typing-v5.svg

Version 6

The stretch range needs adjusting. It needs to be able to reach the keys...
Adjusted stretch range to reach keyboard keys.

Version 7

The origin of the legs connected to the base of the claudito should match the default position... Less cross-leg crossing...
Leg origins match body position, reduced leg crossing.

Version 8

Feel free to come up with a new typing algorithm... look like an octopus... quadropus
Major shift to tentacle/bezier curve approach for organic movement.

Version 9

Yes, this is the exact direction I was looking for! Can you give them more snappy tap movements...
Added snappy tap movements with anticipation/strike/return phases.

Version 10

Now, can you make the snap-to-key action so that they actually reach the different keys?
Actual key targeting - legs reach specific key positions.
claudito-typing-v10.svg

Version 11

Can you make the snap motion slower so that we can actually see claudito reaching each key
Slower tap duration (0.40-0.45s) for visible motion.
claudito-typing-v11.svg

Version 12

From the v11 style, make less delay between each type... typing itself should be more continuous... with occasional pauses
More continuous typing with occasional pauses.
claudito-typing-v12.svg

Version 13

The keyboard should be flipped so the space bar is facing claudito
Keyboard flipped - spacebar row closest to Claudito.
claudito-typing-v13.svg

Version 14

Let's try a version where the keyboard is scaled down so that it's as wide as claudito
Keyboard scaled down to match Claudito's width.
claudito-typing-v14.svg

Version 15

Can you give the keyboard more of a 16:9 ratio and give it the full set of normal keys...
Full keyboard layout with 16:9 ratio, 5 rows.
claudito-typing-v15.svg

Version 16

Can you scale the keyboard down to make it smaller
Scaled down smaller keyboard.
claudito-typing-v16.svg

Version 17

See the screenshot I took. Can you make the key layout and ratio/proportions like this?
TKL-style keyboard based on screenshot reference.
claudito-typing-v17.svg

Version 18

The keyboard looks off. I wonder if it's because we have the keyboard flipped toward the claudito?
Normal keyboard orientation - function row at top, spacebar at bottom.
claudito-typing-v18.svg

Version 19

The arrows have three keys below them that shouldn't be there
Fixed arrow keys - proper inverted-T shape with up arrow alone.
claudito-typing-v19.svg

Version 20

Take a look at the schematic... create a hash of all the keys shown in the screenshot, and then create a button for each one
Data-driven keyMap approach with 87 keys generated from JavaScript object.
claudito-typing-v20.svg

Version 21

Looks like there's a bug where the keys are all squished on the left
Fixed scale from 0.38 to 1.25 to fill keyboard width properly.
claudito-typing-v21.svg

Version 22

The space key needs to be bigger... the gaps in the key groups on the top row need to be increased...
Final alignment fixes: wider spacebar, function row gaps aligned with nav cluster.
