EpiPad tech turns your forearm into a touchpad (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers have developed technology that turns a smartwatch user’s forearm into a trackpad. The existing prototype (shown here) resembles a wristband with a circuit board sticking out of it. However, the technology could be incorporated into conventional smartwatch devices, with a less obtrusive profile. The actual sensor array that allows EpiPad to monitor motion and force-touch is approximately 5 millimeters by 4 millimeters.
