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 ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Wireless communication for mobile phone
29.01.2001
The Japanese company Total Design Communications has developed a wireless headset for mobile phones called "i2me". Using the new Bluetooth technology, it provides a stable connection between the earphone and the "mobile phone" at a distance of up to 10 meters.
Thus, nothing prevents now to put the phone in a bag and forget about it until the incoming call. Then, without getting confused in the wires, "pick up the phone" and start a conversation. And to do this is surprisingly simple: the device controls are limited to the answer button and the volume control.
The new headset is powered by just one coin cell battery, which lasts for two weeks of intensive use. True, the price of new items is still too high - about $220.
