The Skinny on... the Skinput

BBC News - Sensors turn skin into gadget control pad: "Tapping your forearm or hand with a finger could soon be the way you interact with gadgets.
US researchers have found a way to work out where the tap touches and use that to control phones and music players.
Coupled with a tiny projector the system can use the skin as a surface on which to display menu choices, a number pad or a screen.
Early work suggests the system, called Skinput, can be learned with about 20 minutes of training.
'The human body is the ultimate input device,' Chris Harrison, Skinput's creator, told BBC News."
