Which Digit To Use?
from the seems-complex dept
An interesting article about a small company that is working on a different sort of solution for inputting text into a mobile phone. They want to distinguish between the different fingers you have so that each performs a different task. So, if you want an "A", you press "2" with your index finger. If you want "C", you use your thumb. Of course, this seems like it will cause an additional layer of complexity that is unlikely to make things any easier. Still is an interesting idea, though. They also talk about other uses such as making it easier to use touchpads or game controllers, depending on which fingers you use to do what.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
