ABSTRACT

Skinput is a technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as an input surface. In particular, the location of finger taps on the arm and hand is resolved by analyzing mechanical vibrations that propagate through the body. These signals are collected 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 capabilities, accuracy and limitations of this technique are assessed through a two-part, twenty-participant user study.
