Hybrid Body Craft
summary
NailO is a miniaturized capacitive fingernail trackpad built with a flexible circuit, a half‑nail battery and wireless module, supporting five gestures (left/right/up/down/press) with 92% accuracy in user tests; prototypes progress from wired paper electrodes to Shenzhen‑manufactured flexible boards. DuoSkin uses gold metal leaf and tattoo paper cut with a $150 Silhouette Cameo to make on‑skin NFC, capacitive inputs and thermochromic outputs that survive >2,000 stretches and can be manufactured and customized by hand.
