Turn your arm into a touchscreen, surfing for porn may get confusing, sticky
So a couple of bona fide geniuses have come up with a way to project, say, a keyboard or dial pad directly to your skin via a device that fits snugly on your upper arm. They call it the Skinput. Yes, the Skinput. Accompanied with technology to acutely detect ultra low frequency sounds and subseqent vibrations that are produced when you tap your skin (that’s what she said), you may be able to use yourself in ways you never dreamt possible. Or have you? You dirty monkey.
Read the PDF over here or you can view Skinput – the movie. I’m guessing this will make it to the Wii soon enough. You can read more over at NewScientist. Oh, since the projection seems to be more of a courtesy (i.e. make it easier for you to remember where to touch yourself – giggety), you could use this technology while, say running. You know, touch your input point 1 to skip track on your iPod, etc. Should be quite fun. Now go find hidden input point 11. I keed, I keeed.
