Well, you were right. Chris Harrison has developed Skinput, a way in which your skin can become a touch screen device or your fingers buttons on a MP3 controller. Harrison says that as electronics get smaller and smaller they have become more adaptable to being worn on our bodies, but a couple of drawbacks are that the monitor and keypad\/keyboard have to be big enough for us to operate the equipment. This can defeat the purpose of small devices but with the clever acoustics and impact sensing software, Harrison and his team can give your skin the same functionality as a keypad. Add a pico projector attached to an arm band, and your wrist becomes a touch screen&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/fingers\/\" rel=\"tag\">Fingers<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/hand\/\" rel=\"tag\">Hand<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/keyboard\/\" rel=\"tag\">Keyboard<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/monitor\/\" rel=\"tag\">Monitor<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/pico+projector\/\" rel=\"tag\">Pico projector<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/skin\/\" rel=\"tag\">Skin<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/touch+screen\/\" rel=\"tag\">Touch Screen<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/pop-up-buttons-touchscreen\/12052\/\">Pop-up buttons the future of touchscreens? <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/displax-multi-touch-display-skin\/14079\/\">Displax &#8216;skin&#8217; turns virtually any surface into multi-touch display<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/the-mini-turns-50\/11714\/\">The Mini turns 50<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/getac-multi-touch\/13078\/\">Getac&#8217;s resistive-type multi-touch technology works with or without gloves<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/starkey-laboratories-sweep-technology\/13238\/\">Sweep Technology touch interface for hearing aids<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/etip-gloves-for-touch-screens-from-north-face\/13687\/\">North Face Etip gloves for touch screens <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/b2BU80Y-K0637LyGE3w5wJcWgIY\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/b2BU80Y-K0637LyGE3w5wJcWgIY\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/b2BU80Y-K0637LyGE3w5wJcWgIY\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/b2BU80Y-K0637LyGE3w5wJcWgIY\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=o4Y2ktGUsHg:Hl0y6Av9YeE:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine\/~4\/o4Y2ktGUsHg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always thought your skin was more than just a device to keep your insides tucked in neatly and out of harms&#8217; way?
