Our device gives users the capability to enter text and control an AR operating system privately, using subtle and discrete hand motions.

  1. Text Entry Scheme
    Through testing and research our team developed a novel text entry scheme specifically for our device. The scheme divides the alphabet into 5 blocks of letters each mapping to one of your fingers. To select a letter you simply bend your finger to select a block and then bend your finger again to select a specific letter inside that block.
  2. Stretchable Electronics
    At 15 microns thick, Samsung’s stretchable electronics technology is thinner than a strand of human hair. Acting as a non-invasive second skin, the technology has a variety of sensing and connectivity applications to create on the body IoT devices.
