2. Techugo Updates
Techugo soars the temperature high with the latest tech news.
This new technology has been discovered by a team at Carnegie Mellon, who has found a
way to make skin a user interface for gadgets.
Let’s check about it more….

3. Smart Watch- Challenges
Smart Watch has a tiny screen.
Make it difficult for the user to navigate through apps on this relatively tiny screen.
Gadgets we wear on our wrists need to stay small to avoid looking terribly unfashionable.

4. Solution
Smart watch screens can feel maddeningly small when trying to navigate apps.
A novel solution released by Carnegie Mellon University, to this problem: making the skin on
your arm and hand act like a touch screen for your smart watch.

5. Skin Track Device – How It Functions
The system uses a signal-emitting ring worn on the finger to communicate with a sensing
band attached to the watch.
When the finger wearing the ring touches the skin, a high-frequency electrical signal spreads
across your arm.
It uses the distance between the ring and four pairs of electrodes in the watchband to trian-
gulate the position of your finger in 2D space.

6. Skin Track Device – How It Functions
The system can sense continuous tracking, allowing you to doodle a picture for example.
It can also sense discrete gestures like swipes or taps.
The prototype built by the group as a proof of concept showed off a lot of interesting inter-
actions.
You can swipe up and down on your wrist to move between apps, then left or right to enter
and exit a program.
That is neat, but it basically just replicates what's available already through your smart watch
screen.

7. Skin Track Device – How It Functions
Your skin acts as a canvas in this device.
You can drag apps off the watch and place them on parts of your arm, creating shortcuts
back to the app.
For example- Put your Twitter app on your elbow, and you can quickly access it with a tap on
that spot from the finger wearing the ring.
The watch can also recognize hot key commands. Trace an "N" on your hand to open up your
news app, for
example, or an "S" to silence a phone call.
Skin and screen can also be used to indicate different modes, with a screen swipe performing
a slow scroll through an address book, and a skin swipe activating a rapid scroll

8. Kinks To Work Out
The technology is 100% safe. No evidence suggests that the radio frequency signals used by
Skin Track have any health effects. But there are certain flaws to be worked upon.
According to the lab, "keeping the ring powered up is a challenge”.
Signals also tend to change as the device is worn for long periods, thanks to factors such as
sweat and hydration and the fact the body is in constant motion.
