iSkin: Stretchable On-Body Touch Sensors for Mobile Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This demo presents iSkin, a stretchable and visually customizable sensor that capture touch input on the human body for mobile computing. iSkin is a thin skin-worn sensor overlay, made of biocompatible materials. The sensor can be produced in different shapes and sizes and is visually customizable to account for the user’s aesthetic preferences. It can be worn on various locations on the human body, including the finger, the back of the hand, and the ear. Each sensor overlay supports single and multiple touch areas, which can be arranged to more complex multi-touch widgets. Together, these attributes allow for novel device concepts that support fast and direct on-body input for mobile computing.

Interactive on-skin devices for expressive touch-based interactions
Skin has been proposed as a large, always-available, and easy to access input surface for mobile computing. However, it is fundamentally different than prior rigid devices: skin is elastic, highly curved, and provides tactile sensation. This thesis advances the understanding of skin as an input surface and contributes novel skin-worn devices and their interaction techniques. We present the indi...
متن کاملA Stretchable and Flexible Platform for Epidermal Electronics
The society is aging and therefore there is a need for new mobile and reliable health monitoring systems. An idea of such wireless, stretchable and mobile health monitoring platform has been developed. It consists of a wireless stretchable, biocompatible sensor tag placed on the skin and an RFID reader collecting and evaluating all the data, which are then shown on the display. Introduction The...
متن کاملDesign and operation of silver nanowire based flexible and stretchable touch sensors
In recent years wearable devices have attracted significant attention. Flexibility and stretchability are required for comfortable wear of such devices. In this paper, we report flexible and stretchable touch sensors with two different patterns (interdigitated and diamond-shaped capacitors). The touch sensors were made of screen-printed silver nanowire electrodes embedded in polydimethylsiloxan...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution, Large-Area Fabrication of Compliant Electrodes via Laser Ablation for Robust, Stretchable Dielectric Elastomer Actuators and Sensors.
A key element in stretchable actuators, sensors, and systems based on elastomer materials are compliant electrodes. While there exist many methodologies for fabricating electrodes on dielectric elastomers, very few succeed in achieving high-resolution patterning over large areas. We present a novel approach for the production of mechanically robust, high-resolution compliant electrodes for stre...
متن کاملWearable Wide-Range Strain Sensors Based on Ionic Liquids and Monitoring of Human Activities
Wearable sensors for detection of human activities have encouraged the development of highly elastic sensors. In particular, to capture subtle and large-scale body motion, stretchable and wide-range strain sensors are highly desired, but still a challenge. Herein, a highly stretchable and transparent stain sensor based on ionic liquids and elastic polymer has been developed. The as-obtained sen...
