Nanotech gloves:Use Your iPhone With or Without Your Hand
The i phone ,designed and marketed by Apple Inc., is known for it's touch screen feature and it's outlook.The graphics and sleek design add to it's beauty.
Using touch screen phones like i phone become impossible in cold climates when the fingers become numb and gloves take place over our hands. Thus it becomes virtually impossible to navigate the i phones.In such conditions,we are to remove the gloves for using i phones,ATMs,gas stations, checkout counters and feel the cold.
Coming up latest in the nanotech world is an answer to combat such conditions. Brought up by TouchTec are their new nano-technology-impregnated gloves . You can use the i phones wearing these gloves and can remove them only when you want to.
These gloves are developed by inventor Jerry Leto. TouchTec gloves use nano-impregnated textiles which induce the capacitive properties of the human hand in them.In simple language,our hands need not be inserted in them to make use of their functionality.
However,these are not first of it's kind. Some gloves which let you expose just your fingertips, others having metal beads on them(which may result in scratches on the screen) are already launched in the nanoworld.But Leto undergoing their features finds these tend to react too strongly to external temperature. Even most of these solutions limit the capacity to a number of distinct points on the gloves.
Overcoming these technical problems,the TouchTec's models are capacitive all over--pretty much like our skin.
The process, which Leto says "starts at the tanning level" for leather and is better for fabrics,has already resulted in ready products.Now the gloves are available at Gaspar Gloves, a designer boutique which has crafted glove designs for various sci-fi and action animated movies like Batman, X-Men, and The Changeling.Price starts at $185.
More affordable versions would be available in the market (in the range of $85 to $125) soon.
