This is cool. And the experience of gesture typing is so different from touch-typing on a physical keyboard that I think it might be easier to experiment with or learn new keyboard layouts in this environment.

Way back in the PalmPilot days I used the "Fitaly" keyboard layout (wow, their site is still up and hasn't changed in years: http://www.fitaly.com/fitaly/fitaly.htm) and it was fairly easy to learn (by point of comparison, I've never been able to make the transition from qwerty to dvorak on a real keyboard).

A circular layout might be easy to use with gesture, something like a rotary phone with radius jumps

This loopy gesture-based keyboard won some of the typing speed contests back in the PalmOS days: https://mrl.nyu.edu/projects/quikwriting/

I just rediscovered my overlay last week.
