We present magnetic fingerprints; an input technique for mobile touchscreen devices that uses a small magnet attached to a user’s fingernail in order to differentiate between a normal touch and a magnetic touch. The polarity of the magnet can be used to create different magnetic fingerprints where this technique takes advantage of the rich vocabulary offered by the use of multitouch input. User...
