 This is Ross Menard with The Verge and I am learning to use a mouse cursor with just my finger. This is the idea of Modix. Modix is actually a project that's been in development for about two years now. This device itself, however, has been in development since July. The general idea is using this sensor and this digital pad and your thumb on the digital pad, you can actually use your finger to kind of adjust where on the screen you're doing so you can type without having to grab a mouse or a track pad. Now this model, which is actually going to come out next month, it does need some calibration. The app itself for calibration is, as you can see here, is a little more detailed oriented, but it's fairly simple in idea. So basically your thumb rests on this digital pad and based on where on the pad it is, how sensitive your finger is going to be. So you can see I can move more extreme here and I can fine tune it as I slide my thumb over. This is not going to be available in stores at launch, you'll have to get it on the website. It'll be $119.99. And again, this is going to take some getting used to. We've only been playing with it for about a few minutes. It does take a lot of getting used to to kind of fine tune. I think just now I'm starting to get a kind of hang of where to like move my finger. I can go through a little bit of typing. Tapping is taking a little bit to get used to. But it is a fun concept. It's something like we really are excited to see in practice. We will need however a lot more time to kind of get the hang of this. If you want to see more hands on videos like this, more technology from the future, all the gizmos, gadgets, and doohickeys of CES 215, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

 This is the idea of Modix.
 Modix is actually a project that's been in development for about two years now.
 This device itself, however, has been in development since July.
 The general idea is using this sensor and this digital pad and your thumb on the digital
 pad, you can actually use your finger to kind of adjust where on the screen you're doing
 so you can type without having to grab a mouse or a track pad.
 Now this model, which is actually going to come out next month, it does need some calibration.
 The app itself for calibration is, as you can see here, is a little more detailed oriented,
