Touchees, high technology gloves for tactile screens
Yes, this is a blog devoted to gadgets. And yes, these are real gloves. So why are we writing about a pair of 90% cotton, 10%polyamide gloves today? Well, it’s quite simple: they are the best option for using any touchscreen device (iPhones, iPod Touch, Blackberries, eBooks, laptops) when the weather is not rather pleasant.
Let’s say you are waiting for a taxi in Helsinki, temperature is below zero and you want to play “Surfin’ USA” in your phone, but do not want to take your gloves off. This is not a problem anymore with the new Touchees, developed by a team of spanish engineers working for high-tech company AISoy Robotics.
The good news is that these gloves are quite cheap (less than 19 €); the bad is that there is only one size available for the moment and colours are… well, somewhat boring. But they do perform as expected.
In fact I have already purchased a few of them, and I’m sure they will be a very original and well appreciated gift this X-mas. Unless you are lucky enough to live in the Caribbean.
