A 23-year-old Indian based in Kerala has just concluded an overwhelmingly successful campaign on crowd funding platform Indiegogo.
It connects your different gadgets via Bluetooth.
Fin is a tiny hardware product that you can wear on the thumb of your
hand as a ring and it will make your whole palm as a Gesture interface.
Features:
For instance, a person driving a car can use Fin as their key, or
take phone calls or control the music player without taking their hands
off the steering wheel.
A smartphone user can rub their index finger against the thumb to
zoom their screens in and out and they can assign numbers to different
sections of their fingers, turn their hand into a numeric keypad and tap
in a phone number without even touching the phone.
Fin will be priced at $120 each, but that cost could come down with
bulk booking. The first shipping is expected in September.Fin’s initial
target was to raise $100,000, but it extended the campaign’s deadline to
March 9, resulting in a doubling of its collections.
