Nokia Create Remote Input Sleeve

Nokia’s fast losing market share to other cellphone/smartphone manufacturers, and to turn things around they would need to come up with something spectacular. Well, that’s exactly what the Finnish company has done by pushing their R&D labs overtime to create a new method of controlling a cellphone, going beyond what today’s traditional phones do. Apart from haptics tactile feedback alongside ultrasonic 3D gesture-based controls, Nokia has done a comfortable sleeve embedded with sensors that are able to react to the stretching and relaxation of the human skin. We truly wonder how Michael Jackson would have controlled his cellphone if he were still alive when this idea is realized onto the world stage.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
