- 3. What Is Skinput Technology??????
- 4. Introduction Skinput is named because it uses the human skin Skinput, is a sensor system. Skinput allows the user to simply tap their skin in order to control audio devices, play games, make phone calls. Developed by Chris Harrison(Mellon university), Microsoft research Chris Harrison
- 5. What is skinput Skinput turns the body into a touch screen surface. Skinput is an “input technology” mainly used to control mobile devices. Skinput uses a series of sensors to track where a user taps on his arm. It listen to vibrations in our body The arm is an instrument
- 6. Components of The Technology A microchip-sized Pico projector Pico projector applies the use of projector in a hand held device. An acoustic detector to detect sound vibrations It detects the ultra low frequency. It needs Bluetooth connection
- 7. Pico Projector It is also known as pocket projector or mobile projector. The system comprises three main parts: The Laser light source The Combiner optics The Scanning mirror
- 8. Bio-Acoustics Study of sound waves inside living body. When a finger taps the skin, several distinct forms of acoustic energy are produced. Longitudinal Waves Transverse Waves
- 9. Longitudinal Waves: These waves travel through the rigid tissues of the arm, exciting the waves, which can respond to the mechanical vibrations by tapping on a rigid body. Transverse Waves: Tapping on soft regions of the arm creates higher amplitude transverse waves.
- 11. Bio-Acoustics: Sensing These signals need to be sensed and worked upon. This is done by wearing the wave sensor arm band. Two sensor packages focus on the arm of input. Signals transmitted though denser bones.
- 15. ADVANTAGES No need to interact with the gadget directly. Don’t have to worry about keypad. Skinput could also be used without a visual interface. People with larger fingers get trouble in navigating tiny buttons and keyboards on mobile phones. With Skinput that problem disappears.
- 16. DISADVANTAGE Individuals with visible disabilities cannot use this product. The arm band is currently bulky. The visibility of the projection of the buttons on the skin can be reduced if the user has a tattoo located on their arm.
- 17. APPLICATION Using skinput, someone could send text messages by tapping his or her arm in certain places . While walking and jogging, we can listen to music. Mobile Gaming
- 18. FUTURE SKINPUT Research is going on to- Make armband smaller Incorporate more devices Extend accuracy level
- 19. CONCLUSIONS This system performs very well even if the body is in motion in the future your hand could be your iPhone and your handset could be watch-sized on your wrist.
