iSkin: A sensor worn on your skin, transforms the human body into a sensitive touch pad to control mobile devices. 
The revolutionary technology has been developed by scientists in Germany.
ISkin is made of biocompatible silicone rubber with pressure sensors that can stick to the user's skin, allowing them to use their body to control mobile devices.
It was developed by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and Saarland University. The experimental system has been made in various shapes and sizes to fit different parts of it body, such as the finger, forearm and even behind the ear.
The sensor is capable of detecting pressure, even when it is stretched or bent. With today's standards, scientists can answer incoming calls, play music, and adjust the volume. So far, a roll-up keyboard has also been designed for use with a smart clock.
The prototype is based on advances made in the so-called “electronic δέρμα” που επιτρέπει στα robot, να αισθάνονται better their environment, contact, pressure and temperature.
ISkin manufacturers saw it as an ideal platform for interacting with mobile computing.
The material the "skin" is made of is called polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), is silicone based and is an organic polymer.
"The sensor is made of bio-compatible silicone with a mixture of silicon carbon. So there are carbon particles inside the silicone that make it conductive. That way we can use it as an electronic device, ”explains Martin Weigel of the development team.
Scientists have no immediate plans to develop the iSkin prototype, but they hope they will inspire future research into an electronic skin that will make human-computer interaction possible.
