Nowadays more popular worn on the wrist watches, especially smart watches, which can be sometimes easier in terms of access than smartphones, which often need to use to get out of his pocket. But such things, of course, there is one big disadvantage – at their tiny screens. This would make them quite difficult to use when performing certain tasks, especially those where the larger interface area just vital. Well, it is – just where can squeeze a new technology iSkin. The experimental system allows users to control mobile devices using flexible, stretchable labels, which are attached directly to their skin.

Designed by a team of Saarlandskogo University in Germany and at Carnegie Mellon University in the USA, the prototype iSkin silicone is a type of label stickers containing a capacitive sensors and sensors that react to touch. They can be made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and thus temporarily applied almost anywhere within the body surface due to the type of medical adhesive.

If one of them is required only periodically, it can be removed from the body, folded and removed somewhere in a safe place if not expected his imminent use. Prospective applications of such labels include the reception and make phone calls, control the playback of recorded music, set and send messages, or many other things, that it is currently being done on your mobile device. They are able to perceive multi-touch, as well as recognize gestures such as a heavy blow.

Current prototypes are connected by wires to a computer, but despite this the authors of the project claim that the communication with the device will be performed wirelessly and very soon it will become possible.

Is successful on Kickstarter to raise funds to launch production of a new type of stickers that are easily attached to any type of surfaces: stone, brick, glass, wood, plastic. Stickers are called MAGNETIC, a range of different sizes presented a “magnetic paper: Magnetic Notes, Magnetic Pads, Magnetic Boards, and Magnetic Sheets. The principle of operation MAGNETIC – permanent electrostatic charge. The front surface of the stickers is designed for repeated use – traces of the marker will be erased without any problems.

Any surface

As mentioned above, due to static electricity, MAGNETIC attached to any surface, including the skin, metal, cloth, paper.

Learning Calligraphy

According to the developers, stickers – it’s not paper. The material from which made stickers – special plastic, write or draw on that much more comfortable than on plain paper. With convenient cover even a grown man can rediscover the joy of using a pen or felt-tip pen: write on stickers – a pleasure.

Repeated use

Magnetic – not one-off stickers. The front surface can be used repeatedly: a black marker or pen erased very easily. Write something – not like it, you can erase and write again. And no need to write – and you can draw!

Size and color

Magnetic Notes are represented by three different sizes in 9 color variations. There are transparent stickers, and there are black – to work with white markers.

Magnetic Pads are larger. They are intended for drawing, creating infographics, etc.

Magnetic Boards – the largest representative of the family, on such lists can write markers, as well as on normal office flip chart. As mentioned above, the label can be washed and applied again.

Stickers Sheets are ordinary office paper size A4. These sheets can be used without problems for printing documents and drawings.

The advantage of all embodiments stickers family is that this material is 100% recyclable. Nature does not suffer – defective sheets can be given for recycling.

Order

Now the project has already gained the necessary for the continuation of the amount. The first orders will go to customers in May 2015.

Pre-order Magnetic (any format) can be issued at Medgadgets.
