Featured Video: Skinput – body as touchscreen

Chris Henderson thinks we can use our skin as a touchscreen for our phones (or other mobile devices). We’re all canvases for the machine. But if it means doing away with bulky smartphones and easy-to-crack LCD screens, its got my vote (and $$$)!

Skinput, a technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as a finger 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.
