Harrison has patented the FingerSense software that comes with sensors built with the capacity to distinguish the vibration felt on screen from various parts of the human palm. There has been no announcement made about when this technology would be available on gadgets, yet. As of now, Harrison says, “A big problem with touch screens is that they are very simplistic, relative to the capability of our hands. We could do so much more. The more ways you will have for expressing input into smartphones, the better device it would be.”
