我们提出了一种传感技术和输入方法，该技术通过附着在人体上的薄带式设备来估计皮肤变形，其外观在日常生活中似乎是社会可接受的。输入接口通常需要反馈。SenSkin提供触觉反馈，使用户能够知道他们触摸的是皮肤的哪一部分，以便发出命令。在开始输入操作之前，用户已经找到了一个可接受的区域，可以继续输入命令，而无需接收明确的反馈。我们开发了一个带有两个臂带的实验装置来感知施加在皮肤上的三维压力。在没有触觉障碍的情况下，在裸露的皮肤上感应切向力以前尚未实现。SenSkin的另一个创新之处在于，它可以测量施加在皮肤上的切向力，比如前臂或手指的切向力。红外（IR）反射传感器的使用，因为它的耐用性和廉价，使其适合日常的人类传感目的。位于两个臂带上的多个传感器可以感知施加在皮肤上的切向和法向力。使用支持向量机（SVM）学习和识别输入命令。最后，我们将展示一个实现这种输入法的应用程序。
We present a sensing technology and input method that uses skin deformation estimated through a thin band-type device attached to the human body, the appearance of which seems socially acceptable in daily life. An input interface usually requires feedback. SenSkin provides tactile feedback that enables users to know which part of the skin they are touching in order to issue commands. The user, having found an acceptable area before beginning the input operation, can continue to input commands without receiving explicit feedback. We developed an experimental device with two armbands to sense three-dimensional pressure applied to the skin. Sensing tangential force on uncovered skin without haptic obstacles has not previously been achieved. SenSkin is also novel in that quantitative tangential force applied to the skin, such as that of the forearm or fingers, is measured. An infrared (IR) reflective sensor is used since its durability and inexpensiveness make it suitable for everyday human sensing purposes. The multiple sensors located on the two armbands allow the tangential and normal force applied to the skin dimension to be sensed. The input command is learned and recognized using a Support Vector Machine (SVM). Finally, we show an application in which this input method is implemented.
