All over Twitter people couldn\u2019t stop talking about this phone and its new flesh, making all sorts of comparisons to the gooey living computers of <em>Existenz<\/em>. But all I wanted to do was burn it with fire. However, before this fleshy phone and its descendants become our new masters, we might as well learn how it works.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OuEhqHvE1qU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marcteyssier.com\/projects\/skin-on\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Skin-On<\/a> is Bristol research project concocted by Marc Teyssier, Gilles Bailly, Catherine Pelachaud, Eric Lecolinet, Andrew Conn and Anne Roudaut. Starting from the disturbing yet not inaccurate premise of \u201chuman skin is the best interface for interaction,\u201d the team wanted to give devices like mobile phones that same level of interaction. And whether or not they should have, it looks like the definitely did.<\/p>\n<p>In these videos we can see how devices wrapped in Skin-On react to different stimuli just as anything else wrapped in skin might. Tickle your phone. Spank it and poke it deeper than ever. Pinch its\u2026 cheeks? Skin-On can sense all of it and feed that data to whatever app or game you\u2019re using. It\u2019s supposed to open up a new intuitive language of gestures, touch screens taken to the next slimy level. Cool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1808031\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone.png?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone.png?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1 690w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone-625x352.png 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone-650x366.png 650w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone-141x80.png 141w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/skin-phone-130x73.png 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Skin-On is also easy to make. No human sacrifice required. On the website the team goes into great detail about fabricating the various textured layers, weaving in the electronics, and shaping the blobs. There are even two different varieties of Skin-On: a \u201cSimple\u201d version that looks a bit like deli meat and an \u201cUltrarealistic\u201d version that looks like someone took off a chunk of your white dad\u2019s dry foot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FVoYebnlp3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If you want to get your hands on this fake skin before it gets its hands on you, you\u2019re in luck because the Skin-On hardware and software are both open-source.
