Made of synthetic skin to perfectly fit on a human hand. For use at boring parties. Now you can appear to be determining your own future like a true gypsy , instead of just trying to figure it out from world news on the internet! Much more appealing and acceptable than simply phubbing everyone present. After all, the charming allure of the occult, old fashioned style, beats the digital style hands down, doesn't it? It'll seriously up your real time social game. And then when the music's over, you can speak to the hand to call you a cab. (Which might give the game away, but so what, who are you trying to impress? Who could care less!)

       Yes, something like that Bing thing in the link. But more like a synthetic skin glove that fits on the hand, with a touchscreen embedded in it so that you can scroll through the internet as if tracing the lines on your palm. When someone else at the party asks you for a reading on their palm, thinking you're a real gypsy fortune teller (because that's what you told them when they asked why you appeared to be so rapt with stroking your palm) you can say, "cross my palm with silver" and if they do so, you can turn on the vibrate function and. give them a buzz handshake and laugh. If they get offended by this response and demand their money back, or want to take it outside , you can literally throw down the Gauntlet. There! Now the product has a Name.

       You should look up user reviews of the Humane AI Pin. The palm of the hand is just not a good surface for an interactive display.

       Talk to the hand. LoL.
