What we’re seeing here is a kind of modern art, but can make a statement about our society today.

This is Skinput a conceptual technology that can recognize a user taps a finger on the skin, but seems limited to the hand and arm rest.

This technology is under development at Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft, and requires the user to wear a bracelet with some “overhang piezoelectric, or sensors that measure pressure, acceleration and force.” Click on the video after the jump to see this technology in action, and a most unusual method of control of Tetris.

Skinput also uses a pico-projector to create images like the menus in the user’s arm. With a touch on the skin above or below the menu, the user has a very unusual form of navigation.

You have to admit that this technology could have all sorts of applications for the mobile world. Imagine the selection of his songs on his arm instead of your iPod, or dial the phone in your palm instead of your mobile device.

However, this technology can only lead to an age where we’re all comfortable with the integration of technology with our flesh. Then, our teachers cyborg say it all started with Skinput.
