The ones I’ve seen generally signal “finger A is touching finger B”, but I haven’t seen a *real* interface that does a good job intuitively mapping finger combinations. The most common gestures tend to be touching the thumb to one of the fingers on the same hand, but that only gets you 8 combinations (unless you killed Inigo Montoya’s father) which is a far cry from e.g. a keyboard. As with most advances in HMI, the problem is not in getting the technology to work, but in getting people to work with it intuitively.

I know the other one was used as a keyboard, but can you do the same w/ this one? I still want one.
