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. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

The visually impaired will be able to read regular books 25.04.2014

MIT scientists are developing a device that can help visually impaired people read regular books, not just those written in special Braille.

The device, called FingerReader, is equipped with a camera and, judging by the cable, is connected to a computer that processes the incoming information. Naturally, in the future, the connection will be made wireless, or the device will be taught to process data on its own. One way or another, the information coming from the camera is processed by special software, recognized and read aloud.

The device follows the person's finger, reading a certain line. The device signals the end or beginning of a new line with a vibration signal. In the same way, a person is notified that he has strayed from a readable line.

Here lies the difficulty, because it will be difficult for visually impaired people, even with the help of FingerReader, to constantly follow the selected line and not stray up or down. By the way, the device is able to recognize text, starting with the twelfth font. It is worth noting the ability of the "finger" to read not only from paper books, but also from electronic ones.

One source suggests that a similar device could be used by people with normal vision, but for other purposes. For example, for translating texts from foreign languages or just reading aloud. However, for the first case, there are many programs that require only a smartphone, and as for reading aloud, the device is not able to analyze the sentence as a whole and, accordingly, change intonation, which worsens the perception of the text.
