The world’s first wearable tech nail that doubles up as a phone has been unveiled by mobile operator O2, claiming to let users literally “talk to the hand”.
Developed in collaboration with inventor Sean Miles and beauty brand Nails inc, the prototype Mobile Nail contains embedded technology that allows it to operate as a mobile “handset”.
The idea is that users can talk to their friends by simply raising their finger to their face.
A miniature Bluetooth chip in the nail pairs with a mobile phone that can be stored away in a pocket or a bag, allowing the user to answer a call, play a song or redial the last dialled number by pressing a button on the nail.
