Okay, you know the drill by now: just considering it’s in a patent doesn’t mean it’s happening anytime soon, whether ever. With that said, we’d love to see what Nokia had in mind when they concocted that one. As Unwired View recently unearthed, the Finnish phone maker has drawn up a design doc / patent application for comfortable, stretchable material that fits by your skin and is used for device interaction. Gestures and stretches are computed and signaled into nearby computers, phones, or interestingly abundant “near-eye displays” — sounds like we’re getting into a bit of virtual / augmented reality territory here — and they are additionally tailored to supply feedback via vibration. Again, don’t hold your breath on seeing that come to fruition any point in the near (or even long) future, but still, we know what you’re thinking: Nokia’s gonna have to think of a ton of kooky color descriptions to accentuate any future lineup of input wristbands / fingerbands.
