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 ... >>

U-shaped computer keyboard 25.06.2003

The American company SafeType has released an original ergonomic keyboard, which is designed to save computer users from the inconvenience of traditional text input devices.

The new keyboard has a U-shape. On the two side panels are alphanumeric and function keys. In this case, the keys that on a conventional keyboard fall under the left hand are on the left panel, and under the right hand - on the right. On the horizontal part of the keyboard there are control keys, multimedia keys, cursor control and an additional numeric keypad.

Such an unusual keyboard configuration is due to the fact that with the vertical arrangement of the keys, the forearms are in the so-called neutral position (thumbs pointing up), in which the wrists practically do not strain. This is especially noticeable when working for a long time. However, such a keyboard also has serious drawbacks. To work with it, you need to know the method of touch typing, since looking at the keyboard is very uncomfortable.

The last two rows of keys are practically impossible to see without turning your head. Therefore, the keyboard is equipped with two mirrors that reflect these keys, and the inscriptions on the keys themselves are written in a mirror version.
