Submission Statement

When we think of novel interfaces for computing, they are usually voice-based or using sight (AR/VR glasses, etc). When you think about it, interfaces designed around our sense of touch have lots of advantages.

They're private. No one needs to know what you are using them for or what you are talking about. They're less cumbersome than the glasses or headgear AR requires. Sure they have limitations too, but I wonder what applications would work for this medium of communication. Real-time language translation? An AI delivering messages or advice in meetings when no one knows you are using it?
