New mobile phone with the easier and lighter concept by turning your hand into a mobile phone. 'Finger Touching', designed by Sunman Kwon at Hong-ik University in South Korea, it slips onto your hand, and then projects a 3x4 mobile-style keypad onto your fingers, with each joint making up a button.
"Human hand is the most basic communication method. For easier and simpler controls, it uses the instinctive input method “finger jointâ€. Excluding the thumb, each finger joint makes up twelve buttons. These “knuckle buttonsâ€, based on the cell phone's 3x4 keypad, are likely to become the most popular input method."
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Wearable Mobile Technology
- The concept of turning your hand into a mobile phone presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the wearable technology space.
- Instinctive Input Methods
- The use of finger joints as buttons on a wearable mobile phone introduces opportunities for developing intuitive input methods for other devices and technologies.
- Projection Technology
- The projection of a 3x4 keypad onto the fingers opens up possibilities for incorporating projection technology into other wearable devices or user interfaces.
