Multitouch Is Passe, Try Multitoe Instead!

If you think touchscreens represent the ultimate “hip and cool” in consumer gadgets, you’re wrong.

A group of German researchers have just invented the Multitoe. As the name implies, you use your toe (or foot) to control navigation, selection, tapping, bringing up menus, and even typing on a keyboard.

As shown in the video, Multitoe even lets you type by hunting and tapping with a personalized hotspot on the bottom of your foot. The Multitoe floor is even able to identify a user based on the footprint.

To be frank, the Multitoe is a bit tricky for me as I can’t envisage myself hoping around at home or in the office while surfing the web or checking my emails. However, it is a good way to get some exercises while getting your work done.
