at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a tiny
wireless trackpad that can be worn on a thumbnail. Called NailO,
the prototype trackpad is similar to the stick-on nails sometimes used
as a fashion accessory. It attaches to the user's thumb and can be
controlled by running a finger over its surface. The researchers say an
advantage of the device is that it's discrete. Running a finger over a
thumbnail is a natural activity, so most people wouldn't notice this as
a deliberate action to control a device.
