Have you personally been in this situation enough for it to matter? I asked GoMonad because he actually was skeptical and then had his mind changed. I'm not interested in people imagining what it might be useful for.
Just to add another: phones are very useful for cooking (recipes, videos for techniques, even just accurate timers), but touching them after touching raw meat or just messy ingredients is not recommended. Touchless operation would be great. Would save me many hand washings and fights with the touchscreen caused by moist fingers.
I'm an avid skier, and I always wear gloves when I ski.
Neither the fingerprint sensor or face recognition work in this situation unfortunately. I have to use glove liners with touchscreen-compatible fingertips to enter my password.
Definitely. I sweat a lot when I work out. I can hardly use my phone at all. That’s also why I thought it was one of the dumbest idea in the world when Garmin introduced a capacitive touch GPS watch for running. I had a Garmin with physical buttons even after there were great running apps for phones.
