NailO: A thumbnail-mounted wireless trackpad

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab are developing a new, wearable device that turns the user’s thumbnail into a miniature, wireless track pad. NailO was inspired by the colorful stickers that people apply to their nails as a form of self-expression and style. The researchers envision the device could be extremely personable and therefore feel more like an extension of your body.
