novel input technique that allows the skin to be used as a finger input surface.
To

capture this acoustic information , they developed a wearable armband that is noninvasive and easily removable

Transverse Wave Propagation

Longitudinal Wave Propagation

Two

arrays of five sensing elements. Bone conduction microphones. Microphones Placed near: Humerus Radius Ulna

Data was then sent from the client over a local socket to our primary application, written in Java. Key function of application are:
Live

visualization. Segmentation of data stream. Classification of Input instances.

Participants

13- 7 female, 6 male.

Ages ranged from 20 to 56. Body mass indexes (BMIs) ranged

from 20.5 (normal) to 31.9 (obese).

Each participant was made to memorize the locations for a minute and randomly system generated sequence is displayed according to which they had to tap the respective area.

Five

Fingers

When classification was incorrect, the system believed the input to be an adjacent finger 60.5% of the time. Ring finger constituted 63.3% percent of the misclassifications.

Whole

Arm Below elbow placed placed the sensors closer to the input targets than the other conditions. The margin of error got double or tripled when eyes were closed.

Fore

Arm Classification accuracy for the tenlocation forearm condition stood at 81.5%.

High

BMI is correlated with decreased accuracies. No direct relation with gender of the participant.
