Abstract :
A hand- and finger-mounted data input device is presented, using traditional touch-typing skills as method of alphanumeric data input to provide an ultraportable solution for "quiet" data input into portable computer systems. The presented keyboard independent touch-typing device {KITTY) offers high data input rates and minimal training requirements for new users.
