The Incredible Glove That Makes 'Touch Screen' Keyboards So . . . . . . . Yesterday!

by Meera Dolasia on October 28


 Many people think that touch screens are cool and I agree. But wouldn't it be much cooler if we had a clove and my doing small touches we typed? I bet it would. Jiake Liu with the help of a team of researchers he made this awesome glove that you probably connect it with your phone via bluetooth and then you make small touches a the letters that are across the fingers.... and VOILA you typed a text message. If this glove is sponsored by someone and goes on sale it can help hundreds of blind and 
handicap people. 

This is one of the coolest inventions I have ever seen. It's going to help many people for typing, not only blind or handicap but also old people that are not so used having phones.
