Stephen Wolfram “ties/hangs” a laptop from his body so he can work while on the move.

Personally, I'd like a better mobile solution so I can walk to, or around, a park, etc and work for an hour.
What’s really missing is a better way to input into a device while not sitting.
Add a little voice input, eye tracking, and gesture input:
Just sharing for inspiration, this is the setups the google glass researchers have used (2015): https://youtu.be/sk7cjmYrKck?t=473

- not mentioned, but there's also been more recent startups like tap: https://www.tapwithus.com/
Look at your blog. Looks like you’re working on some sort of input device?

Did you finish?
So, I worked on https://thimblemac.com (which was a plugin, not an input device) between 2013-2017, and had some beta releases. Didn't quite get the traction I wanted, so put it on hiatus.
Been meaning to find a place to revamp it in some fashion but been busy with other projects/work since.
Is that Soli sensor available for custom hardware? RPi?
