What Is FIN?
Fin is a tiny hardware product that you can
wear on your thumb as a ring and it will make your whole palm as a gesture
interface. Fin can uniquely recognize each segments of the fingers and can
convert your palm into a numeric keypad. Fin is a Bluetooth enabled device that
we can connect to three different digital gadgets like Smartphones, Smart
TVs, Automobiles, and Home automation devices providing multiple device
compatibility. Fin reads different gestures from your palm and its
corresponding values control connected devices.
It uses smart Low Energy Technology such as Bluetooth for Communication with connected devices.
Unique Features Of FIN
Fin can help 285+ million visually impaired to interact with Technology
Here
is a video feedback from some blind people on how Fin can make their
life better and to have that hope and light in the life.
Where Are We Now?
Where Is The Money Going?
Fin is a
rare kind of product that evolved from a technology that aims at natural human
machine interaction. Fin achieves one of its goal when it goes global. To make Fin
global we need your support. It not only help us find funds for manufacturing
but also spreads a word to the world about our innovation to make our planet
a better place to live in.
To list out
what will happen to the Funds that are raised is below:
-
Materials and
Designs.
-
Hardware
manufacturing.
-
Hardware
design.
-
Funding for
materials cost.
-
Adding more
enhancements to Fin like Unique User Authentication.
-

-
Platform
integration and support.
-
Casing and
packaging.
-
And of course
shipping!
After
funding is complete, we will immediately invest the money to the above
expenses. Updates will be sent on completion of each stage, keeping
supporters in the loop.
How Can You Support Us?
FIN is now
ready to go live after our consistent hard working for over one ye
ar.
We want the Fin to be more than just a prototype, but we can't do it
alone. Your contributions will help us make Fin, a fully finished
reality.
Fin is going live on Indiegogo because
it’s a great way to reach out to creative developers, wearable tech pioneers,
enthusiastic early adopters, and premium platforms.
We’ve
come up with hundreds of ideas for applications to integrate with Fin, but we
know that we haven’t even scratched the surface of what is possible.
We
want you,
the developer,
to propel the wearable tech movement forward by creating entire new categories
of applications with Fin and complementary
technologies.
We need you,
wearable tech pioneers,
to collaborate with us to provide consumers with an ever-increasing web of
tightly integrated wearable technology products that enhance productivity,
learning, and social interaction.
We
want you,
the early tech
adopter, to use your influence as trend-setters to show the world the
benefits of a smarter, interactive and more connected world.
And
so we’re making available – today –for
people who are passionate about wearable technology and want to help us create
something special.

Use Cases
Thumb is accessible to anywhere in the palm and its more natural too. So wearing
a Fin will make your palm as a touch interface that enables the people to interact with Smartphones [Dial Numbers, Attending
calls, SMS, Social media, Taking Quick Notes etc.] especially for visually challenged people
since they sense the world through touch.
Fin can control your smart TV, to change the channels, control sounds by mere
natural finger swipes.
Fin can control your car from
being your cars key to controlling
your phone while driving, navigate
your maps, receive calls and read messages, change music, and other car
utilities just by finger swipe without even taking your hands off the
steering wheel there by not distracting
yourself from driving.
A big problem in all the
wearable devices is the input of Instructions. In the
much-Hyped
Google glass, a voice instruction and a touch
pad on devices is provided, but both the input methods are cumbersome in odd situations. Integration
with FIN will be ideal for these wearable, as FIN can control the device with much ease and
accuracy.
For better entertainment experience
FIN can serve as controllers for gaming industry.
Fin helps you access your Mobile utilities while jogging.
Share your data with a tap of your finger.
