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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive 360-degree video broadcast
04.02.2014
Japan's largest telecommunications company Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) and Dwango are designing an innovative video broadcasting system that will allow viewers to view the stage from various positions and angles.
The platform includes a special array of cameras providing a 360-degree field of view. The signal is transmitted to the viewer's wearable display: currently existing video glasses are used, but in the future a custom device can be developed.
NTT and Dwango emphasize that the platform uses special broadcast technologies that provide "optimized video and audio quality."
The system allows a viewer wearing computerized glasses or a helmet to change the viewpoint of the stage by turning their head - as if they were actually present in a concert hall or sports arena.
Moreover, theoretically, the new platform will make it possible to view video broadcasts with 360-degree coverage for both mobile and stationary users. In the first case, the system will provide maximum stability of signal reception, and in the second case, it will also provide the best quality.
In the near future, the project participants intend to conduct a comprehensive testing of the platform and evaluate its effectiveness. After that, a decision will be made on further development.
