ABSTRACT A new interface concept for mobile computing, the 'l+ dl-time Wearable
Interface”, is proposed. By wearing tiny interface devices similar to watches or glasses all the
time, the user can operate PDAs at any time desired. As the first study of such an interface,
we propose the finger ring style chord keyboard named “Fingering”. FingeRing can be used
with any typing surface such asthe waist or thigh; no subsidiary devices like keys or pads are
needed. FingeRing can be used anytime, anywhere, and in any situation including standing …
