SKINPUT TECHNOLOGY
[attachment=48026]
What is Skinput:
Giving input through skin.
It was developed by Chris Harrison (Carnegie Mellon University), Microsoft Research.
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.
Advantages :
No need to interact with the gadget directly.
Skinput will bring in a new way of operating a mobile phone, by turning a persons hand into a keyboard and forearm into a screen!
Don’t 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:
System performs very well for a series of gestures, even when the body is in motion.
This approach provides an always available, naturally portable, and on-body finger input system.
