SKINPUT TECHNOLOGY

Appropriating body as a Input surface

BY
SUBASH P
INTRODUCTION
 Advancement in Electronics
 The devices are turning out to be very
small.
 A requirement towards a larger UI
instead of smaller ones.
 A Bio-sensor the real deal.
 Always-Available Input.
DEFNITION :
 Skinput is an input
technology that uses bio-acoustic
sensing to localize finger taps on
the skin. When augmented with
a projector, the device can provide
a direct manipulation, graphical
user interface on the body.
The Principle :
 It uses a input technology that uses the
bio acoustic sensing to localize finger
taps on the skin.
 A figure showing the
 principle :
Why Bio-Acoustic
Sensing ?
• EEG AND FNIR :
EEG(Electro Encephalography) and FNIR(Functional Near-
Infrared Spectroscopy) are the brain sensing technologies.
• BCI :
A BCI is Brain Computer Interface
• EMG :
A Emg is an electrical signal generated by the muscle of a
person called as Electromyography.
Interactive Capabilities

Variations in bone density size and mass creates a new set


of acoustics at different locations .

Our sensing armband augmented
with a pico-projector; this allows
interactive elements to be rendered
on the skin.
WorkinG The Way :-
Sensing
 A wearable bio-acoustic array built into
an armband.
 It detects the vibrations transmitted
through the body.
Arm Band Prototype :
PROCESSING :

 Ten channels of acoustic data generated by three finger taps


on the forearm, followed by 3 taps on wrist. The exponential
average is shown in red. Segmented input are in green.NOTE
:How the sensing elements are actuated by two locations.
The locations :
 Location of the Fingers, Forearm and
Whole arm.
 Lets see the Picture :
ACCURACY :
 FIVE FINGERS: The Average of the Five Finger
showed a very good average of 87.5%
 Whole arm: The below-elbow placement performed
the best , posting a 95.5% accuracy.
 Fore arm : The Fore arm accuracy stood at a good
rate of 81.5%.
CONCLUSION
 Appropriating the human body as an input surface.
We have described a novel, wearable bio-acoustic
sensing array that we built into an armband in order
to detect and localize finger taps on the forearm and
hand. Results from experiments have shown that
system performs very well for a series of gestures,
even when the body is in motion. Additionally, we
have presented initial results demonstrating other
potential uses of this approach. These include
single-handed gestures, taps with different parts of
the finger, and differentiating between materials
and objects. We conclude with descriptions of
several prototype applications that demonstrate the
rich design space we believe Skinput enables.
