Hansub Lee designed this Finger Reader for visually-impaired people. The idea is that scanning bar codes with the "finger" will send information about the product to the user's blue tooth, making shopping much more convenient. It can even, additionally, be worn around the neck as a unique fashion accessory.

Sounds really cool but, how are blind people going to know where barcodes are on a product's packaging?

I would think that you run the reader over the product label until a signal is picked up -and then you know you've found the barcode.

It looks like a zombie finger. Does she know that a zombie is about to giver her a digital wet-willie?
