SKINPUT TECHNOLOGY
Touch screens may be popular both in science fiction and real life as the symbol of next-gen technology, but an innovation called Skinput suggests the true interface of the future might be us “Skinput” turns body into touch screen interface. The founders of this great technology is Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University. By the way, what do skinput technology mean?.... Skinput is a technology that appropriates human body for acoustic transmission, enabling the skin to be utilized as an input surface. This technology allows human hand and arm as touch screens, by sensing various low-frequency vibrations and sounds that are generated by touching different part of the hand or arm. These signals are sensed using various sensors worn on the arm in the form of arm band. "The arm band is a crude prototype, the next generation could be made considerably smaller – likely easi...
