Turn your fingers into a mobile phone
Via Tech Digest:
Another winning entry to this year’s iF Concept Product Awards (albeit in a different category to the baby car seat featured earlier today) is ‘Finger Touching’, which is a wearable mobile device that turns your hand into a phone. No, really.
Designed by Sunman Kwon at Hong-ik University in South Korea, it slips onto your hand, and then projects a 3×4 mobile-style keypad onto your fingers, with each joint making up a button. You can see how it works from the picture.
Who knows if it’ll be turned into an actual product. But imagine the looks you’d get if you whipped one out on the train and began texting by rapping your knuckles. Marvellous.
