Skinput is an innovative technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as a finger input surface.
An armband projects the interface onto the skin, enabling users to input data using a larger touchscreen than is offered by current mobile devices.
The location of finger taps on the arm and hand is determined by analyzing mechanical vibrations that propagate through the body.

This is like the SixthSense device announced at TED last year:

I’d love to play tetris with this and just start clapping until the thing freezes. :)

Yes it’s like the Sixth sense project
I think with 3D bio printing you could print a second skin to wear which would include circuits. What would happen if you had a disability? I think thought computing will override this.

That looks huge to be wearing on the streets, technology should improove before released to the public, i hope it will, aside that, looks fine i think, something completely new on the field.

Amazing – I think I saw a video about this at TED – you wear a tiny projector on your neck and it displays the content you want on anything and uses a tiny camera that works similar to EyeCandy games :)

Weird. It’s cool… but kinda makes us look like cyborgs. Hope it’s not the next thing to get radiation or cancer from…

The concept is great. Just make everything a bit more compact, create a sleeker design and menu interface, and you have it. I think early adopters will generally use this within 5 years or less.
