Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food.

Alternate Reality for Scouts 28.03.2013

The American Intelligence Community Research Agency (IARPA) has announced a competition to develop a game that represents an alternate reality. The project, called UAREHERE, according to the scouts, "may provide opportunities for high-quality social, behavioral and psychological research in a setting close to the real thing." In other words, the game will create the most realistic interactive version of the real environment, which will provide the best conditions for the study of human psychology and social behavior.

Alternate reality games are plots (possibly fantasy) played out in the real world, that is, using the existing environment as "settings". To achieve any goal that is not always clear to the players, real phone numbers, transport, the Internet, search for keys, meetings with strangers and acquaintances, etc. are used. Moreover, the player often does not know which item or event is random, and which is a mere coincidence.

The plot of such a game is thought up by a group of people, but the participants often have an unpredictable influence on the plot, which forms new storylines. One of the most popular games of this kind was The Beast, created for the "promotion" of Steven Spielberg's film "Artificial Intelligence". About 3 million people from different parts of the world took part in this game.

For scouts, such games are of particular interest, since they allow not only to study the behavior of people, but also to develop new, more effective methods of work. Due to the fact that the game is played in a real everyday environment, the number of conventions is minimized. At the same time, the goals of the game are unknown to ordinary players, which plays into the hands of the scouts-organizers. Playing in an alternate reality can become a valuable tool for conducting the largest social and highly specialized research.
