Giving input through skin. Was developed by Chris Harrison (Carnegie Mellon University), Microsoft Research.

Skin Interface

Principle of Skinput
It "listens" to the vibrations in your body. Skinput also responds to various hand gestures. The arm is an instrument.

How it works
It needs Bluetooth connection. It uses a microchip-sized Pico projector to display menu. An acoustic detector to detect sound vibrations.

Wearable Arm Bands


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

Wearable Arm Bands

Higher Accuracy

BMI Effects
High BMI( Body Mass

Index) is correlated with decreased accuracies.


No direct relation with

gender of the participant.

Advantages
No need to interact with the gadget directly. Dont have to worry about keypad. People with larger fingers get trouble in navigating tiny buttons and keyboards on mobile phones. With Skinput that problem disappears.

Conclusion
Since we cannot simply make buttons and screens larger it will be an alternative approach Skin put's are not available yet, but could be in the next few years.
