- jodrellblank 5y agoThat is cool; it was discussed on HN, submitted by the creator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26790486 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26790486 I think that is like wearable computing input devices such as the Twiddler keyboard: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=twiddler2&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=twiddler2&iax=images&ia=ima... and the DataEgg was intended to hold notes inside it and be a standalone device.
