HCI researchers lack low latency and robust systems to support the design and development of interaction techniques using finger identification. We developed a low cost prototype using piezo based vibration sensors attached to each finger. By combining the events from an input device with the information from the vibration sensors we demonstrate how to achieve low latency and robust finger identification.
