ABSTRACT
In this study, we design and implement MagNail, a nail augmented with a magnet, that allows user actions to be detected via the magnetic sensor integrated in smart devices such as a smartphone or a tablet PC. By using this system, therefore, the user can intuitively use the smart device using finger motions. We also develop a drawing application with an intuitive mode switching function and evaluate its performance.
