Skinergy: Machine-Embroidered Silicone-Textile Composites as On-Skin Self-Powered Input Sensors

We propose Skinergy for self-powered on-skin input sensing, a step towards prolonged on-skin device usage. In contrast to prior on-skin gesture interaction sensors, Skinergy's sensor operation does not require external power. Enabled by the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) phenomenon, the machine-embroidered silicon…
