I love 3D Touch, but FingerAngle, by Carnegie Mellon spin-off Qeexo, may have just upped the ante. The researchers behind FingerAngle, a new algorithm that allows smartphones to estimate the angular position of a finger, are aiming to change the way we interact with our smart devices for good. While a typical device measures the fingertip pressed against the display to complete an action, some movements such as pinching/zooming or rotating an image require an additional finger. FingerAngle is able to determine the position of your finger in order to better complete these actions. So, if you’re rotating a finger…
