Mitsumi has developed a resistance-sensitive touchpad (haptic Touch Pad) to be installed on the back of mobile devices and phones. It is actually a sheet with small protrusions, a resistance sensitive touch pad and switches that is fixed on the device.
The panel makes each raised bump a trigger button for the corresponding menu option on the other side GUI. This will in turn make using devices such as this easy using just one hand.
This looks good. In other words, most of the mobile phones in the market can be simulated as touch screen with this touchpad. Though the menu design is boring, but certainly, it will change gradually as time comes.
