There are times when it is just not all that convenient to operate smart devices with our hands—such as when one has long nails or is wearing gloves. That is where Google Japan’s latest product, the “Magic Hand” version of Google Input, comes in.
Users can control this extendable mechanical hand with a joy-stick, which is similar to those used in vintage video games. It is specially designed to make it easier and more comfortable for users to swipe and tap on their touchscreens.
This innovative device is also equipped with several interchangeable attachments—you can choose to use the right hand, the left hand, the thumb, the pinkie, or even the cat’s paw or the back-scratcher add-ons.
By now, you would probably have guessed that the Magic Hand is nothing more than a brilliant April Fool’s prank—in our opinion, one of the best this year.
