Chris Harrison, student
in the Human-Computer
Interaction
Institute at Carnegie Mellon
University has made 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. This approach provides an
always-available, naturally-portable, and on-body interactive surface.
To illustrate the potential of our approach, we developed several
proof-of-concept applications on top of our sensing and classification
system."
