3. Skinput is a technology which uses the surface of the
skin as an input device.
To capture this acoustic information , they
developed a wearable armband that is non-invasive
and easily removable.
It was developed by Chris Harrison, Densely Tan,
and Dan Morris of the Microsoft Research's
Computational User Experiences Group(MRCUEG)

4. Skinput allows the user to simply tap their skin
in order to control audio devices, play games, make
phone call.
It uses the sensors to determine where the user taps
on their skin.
Its first public appearance was at Microsoft's Tech
Fest 2010

5. It listens to vibrations in your body.
Skinput also responds to the various hand gestures.
The arm is an instrument.
Arm band detects the acoustic signals and convert them to
electronic signals which easily enable the users to perform
simple tasks as browsing through a mobile phone menu,
making calls, controlling portable music players, etc..

7. very small projector, basically used in gadgets
Pico projector applies the use of projector in a hand
held device.
The system comprises three main parts:
 The Laser light source
 The Combiner optics
 The Scanning mirror

8. Study of sound waves inside living body.
When a finger taps the skin, several distinct forms
of acoustic energy are produced.
1. Longitudinal Waves
2.Transverse Waves
An acoustic detector detects the ultra low
frequency
These waves form the integral part of the whole
concept of skinput.

10. These signals need to be sensed and worked upon.
This is done by wearing the wave sensor arm band.

11. In Skinput, a keyboard, menu, or other graphics are
beamed onto a user's palm and forearm from a pico
projector embedded in an armband.
An acoustic detector in the armband then determines
which part of the display is activated by the user's touch.
Their software matches sound frequencies to specific skin
locations, allowing the system to determine which “skin
button” the user pressed.

14. IMPLEMENTATION ON PARALYZED
PERSON OR PHYSICALLY DISABLE PERSON.
If a person is paralyzed or physically disable we can
implement this technology. The feature of skinput
technology provides a projected graphical interface
on the skin, so the person who is paralyzed or
physically disable they can use it easily like making a
call, playing game, control music player application
etc.

15. Through the help of Skinput technology we can
implement in education system like we can use calculator
or browsing through a mobile phone etc...

16. Mobile
Gaming
I-pods

17. Through Skinput we can play games with just the
movement of our hands. This will introduce a totally new
era of gaming.

18. We can turn our arm into a cellphone It will be possible to
make calls by just typing numbers that flash on your
forearm. All other functions can also be performed using
Skinput. We can also increase or decrease the volume or
change the track of our music players like the i-pod
without actually touching the gadget.

19. No need to interact with the gadget directly.
Don’t have to worry about keypad.
People with larger fingers get trouble in navigating tiny
buttons and keypads on mobile phones. With skinput this
problem disappears.

20. Though the band seems easy enough to slip on, many
people would not wear a very big band around their arm
for the day.
Not enough research has been conducted on this product
to test the possible skin diseases or types of cancer, one
can get from using this product.
This technology might start up at very high cost which will
not be affordable for the common man.

21. The most profound achievement of Skinput is
proving that the human body can be used as a
sensor.
A person might walk toward their home, tap their
palm to unlock the door and then tap some virtual
buttons on their arms to turn on the TV and start
flipping through channels.
Extensive Research is going on Currently on Skinput
to make the armband more smaller.
Incorporate More Devices with This System.
Extend accuracy level.

22. Skinput allows the human body as an input surface.
It describes 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.
This system performs well even when the body is in
motion.
