What is the Skin-On Interfaces?
Skin-On Interfaces are sensitive skin-like input methods than can be added to existing devices to increase their capabilities.
When we interact with others, we use skin as interfaces. However the objects of mediated communication - such as the smartphone - still has a cold interface that doesn't allow natural interaction and input.
In this project, I wanted to make available the perfect human interface that is the skin for existing devices.

I can think of one industry that would have a LOT of fun with something like this, but let's just not go there! :cool:
Well, to be honest...that's the FIRST place my mind went. :eek:

I think cleansing issues could be a drawback.

Just when you thought it could not get any weirder...

Let me introduce you to MobiLimb!
*The cat bit creeps me out, let alone being touched by that finger!! :oops::oops:

What is Mobilimb ?
MobiLimb is a new shape-changing component with a compact form factor that can be deployed on mobile devices. It is a small 5 DoF serial robotic manipulator that can be easily added to (or removed from) existing mobile devices (smartphone, tablet). In the spirit of human augmentation, which aims at overcoming human body limitations by using robotic devices, our approach aims at overcoming mobile device limitations (static, passive, motionless) by using a robotic limb.

These designers are really "out there" with their ideas, and I thought that the human skin case was damn odd. But this finger is just... ahhh...:oops::D
