ABSTRACT
The Microsoft company have developed Skinput , a technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as an input surface. In particular, we resolve the location of finger taps on the arm and hand by analyzing mechanical vibrations that propagate through the body. We collect these signals using a novel array of sensors worn as an armband. This approach provides an always available, naturally portable, and on-body finger input system. The primary goal of Skinput is to provide an alwaysavailable mobile input system - that is, an input system that does not require a user to carry or pick up a device.
