Not content to let Apple’s iPad have all the attention, Google has released “visual explorations of how a Chrome OS tablet UI might look in hardware.” The concept drawings come courtesy of the Chromium project, the same same group working on Google’s upcoming Chrome OS. On the concept page, Google notes that possible features of a Chrome-based tablet include “keyboard interaction with the screen: anchored, split, attached to focus” and “contextual actions triggered via dwell.”

We were both amazed and confused by the rendering above, which shows a split keyboard. Other renderings show a keyboard that takes up the full width of the screen or half the screen. However, this one reminds us of the goofy layout on the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. We’re not sure how we feel about that.

Google has also released a video, detailing its concept. You can view that video below.
