As interactions with handheld devices and everyday objects become increasingly common, a more seamless and effortless identification and personalization technique will be essential for an uninterrupted user experience. Zensei is a versatile technique for effortlessly identifying and personalizing objects using bioimpedance sensing through an array of electrodes. Bioimpedance information allows us to identify the physiological and behavioral aspects that are unique to a user and customize or personalize an experience for them. We created a Zensei-powered interaction prototype to showcase its capabilities and to explore various interaction scenarios.
