[[Finexus]] is an [[Input Device]] [[technology]] that utilizes fingernail sized magnets, placed on the fingertips of the user, to track the location of the user’s fingers in 3-dimensional space.
==Background information==
Finexus was created by a group of researchers from the University of Washington and [[Oculus Research]]. Oculus Reasarch is a division of [[Oculus VR]], the makers of [[Oculus Rift (Platform)|Oculus Rift]]. Finexus project was created by [[Keyu Chen]], an intern at Oculus Research and a graduate student at the University of Washington. The project is being handled by researchers from both the institutions. A research paper on the subject will be presented at the ACM CHI Conference in May 2016. According to Chen, Finexus can not only revolutionize the modern gaming but also can be used to perform some tasks which require delicate finger motion such as writing in the air or playing a virtual keyboard.
