An Analytical Study of Human Body as an Input Surface by Skinput Technology

Abstract

We present Skinput, a technology that adapts the human body to acoustic transmission and allows the skin to be used as an entry surface. In particular, we determine the position of the finger strokes on the arm and the hand by analyzing the mechanical vibrations which propagate through the body. We are recording these signals using a new range of sensors that are worn like an armband. This approach offers an always available, naturally portable and body-mounted finger entry system.
