“#App<\/a>le working on gadget that turns fingers into Mac mouse<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Apple is developing a futuristic device that could let people control Mac computers with their fingers instead of a mouse, new documents show.<\/p>\n

The gadget looks like a high-tech Band-Aid that would slip over one or more of the user\u2019s fingers, according to a patent application<\/a> the US Trademark and Patent Office published Thursday.<\/p>\n

The band would contain sensors to detect a wide range of different gestures \u2014 such as swiping, tapping or rotating \u2014 and transmit them to another device, like a Mac desktop, patent documents show.<\/p>\n

The user could make the gestures against a surface of an object or simply wave their fingers in the air to perform tasks with the help of an \u201coptical distance sensor,\u201d records show.<\/p>\n

It might even be as simple as using a finger to make gestures against the palm of the other hand, as Apple depicted in an illustration<\/a> included with the application it filed in July.<\/p>\n

The finger sensors could be combined with others tracking the user\u2019s gaze to enable the person \u201cto navigate a menu on a display, to scroll through a document, to manipulate computer-aided designs\u201d and perform other tasks, according to the filing.<\/p>\n

One could also wear one or more of the ring-like gadgets on both hands to perform more complex gestures, according to Patently Apple<\/a>, which first reported on the application.<\/p>\n

The application was released after The Information reported<\/a> last month that Apple was working on a \u201cmixed-reality\u201d headset that would be outfitted with more than a dozen cameras to track hand movements.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s uncertain how far Apple has gotten in developing the finger device or when it might be rolled out. The iPhone maker did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment Thursday.<\/p>\n

Apple shares were down about 0.5 percent at $119.44 as of 11:48 a.m.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
