6. All Talk

http://www.kittytech.com/about-kitty.html
This week we would like to talk about an interesting project we came across this week. Known as 'The Kitty Project', this project is developing spiral-shaped wires that go around users fingers that connect to a watch-like device that transmits the signals inputted by the fingers wirelessly to an input device such as a computer. This looks to be another promising solution for users who need access to input data quickly into their mobile devices.
