      "interacting with the real world through a smartphone is awkward and frustrating, like trying to do heart surgery with a spork, and phones often end up being a barrier to the digital world, rather than a tool to enable interactions with it."

      Solution

      "Litho is a finger-worn controller that connects via Bluetooth Low Energy to a smartphone or AR headset. The controller has a capacitive touch surface on the underside, which allows for precise 2D input, scrolling and tapping. It also has an array of motion sensors and provides haptic feedback, allowing users to interact with objects in the real world more naturally and intuitively."
