What is Skinput
A 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 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.

HOW SKINPUT WORKS

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.

ENERGY THROUGH ARM

Transverse Wave Propagation

Longitudinal

Wave Propagation

ARM BAND
Two arrays of five sensing elements. Bone conduction microphones.

Microphones Placed near:

Humerus Radius Ulna

EXPERIMENT
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 .

LOCATIONS

RESULTS
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.

RESULTS
Whole Arm

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

RESULTS
Fore Arm

Classification accuracy for the ten-location forearm condition stood at 81.5%.

BMI EFFECTS
High BMI 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. UI will appear much larger than on screen Ideal for anyone with little to or no eyesight Can be used without a visual screen

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.
