The body new mobile interface created
Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University and Microsoft researchers created a new type of sensor new mobile interface, designed for projecting on opened body parts, mainly on hands.

The Skinput technology uses small projectors (the so called pico projector) for projecting the sensor new mobile interface elements on the hand, and sound indicators for following the pressings on the projected image.
When touched the body generates ultra low frequency sounds. Researchers concluded that certain parts of the human body generates different sounds. The sensor which is located in the elbow area, processes the sound and establishes the location of the touch. 20 voluntaries have successfully tested the system with new mobile interface.
Researchers say that Skinput works during a series of fast moves, and even quick hand motions. It is expected that Skinput will be connected with the mobile device via Bluetooth or by means of other wireless connection.
The pico projectors are considered to be the most promising mobile technology. According to the Cisco forecast released in February 2010, by the year 2014 pico projectors phones will be using by 300 times more traffic than usual phones do - around 4 pet bytes of data will be sent via pico projector phones per year.
