Designed by Sunman Kwon at Hong-ik University in South Korea, it slips onto your hand, and then projects a 3×4 mobile-style keypad onto your fingers, with each joint making up a button. You can see how it works from the picture.

Who knows if it’ll be turned into an actual product. But imagine the looks you’d get if you whipped one out on the train and began texting by rapping your knuckles. Marvellous.

One thought on “Turn your fingers into a mobile phone”

  • The mocked-up picture shows the phone somehow projecting the number underneath the finger that’s ‘pressing the button’. Unfortunately that finger would get in the way of the projection. Perhaps you could just have the numbers tattooed on – it’s a small price to pay for a chic mobile phone experience.
