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 The i beam tablet from NTT DoCoMo is controlled by sight
11.10.2012
At CEATEC 2012 in Japan, local operator NTT DoCoMo demonstrated the concept of the i beam tablet computer, which confirms that today you can not touch the display at all to work with the mobile platform. Menu navigation, opening, closing and application management are carried out at a distance from the tablet itself.
The thing is that at the bottom of the "pill" i beam is a pair of sensors that track the direction of the user's gaze. To start work, it is necessary to perform an initial calibration of the sensors, and after they are accurately adjusted to the eyes of a particular person, you can start working. A thick dot appears on the screen, which follows the direction of view and actually replaces the mouse pointer. The user is absolutely free in his actions and can perform almost all the same operations as when working on the touch screen.
According to eyewitnesses who managed to work with i beam personally, the most difficult interface element turned out to be a cross in the upper right corner, which closes applications. As a result, I even had to give up eye control and touch this on-screen button with my hand. The developers of NTT DoCoMo demonstrated a game designed for eye control, an application for viewing photos in a gallery, a browser interface and a reader. The e-book app turned out to be the most thoughtful, looking at a word more closely, you can start a search for this query, and the pages are scrolled by looking at the bottom corners. The Japanese operator is not yet ready to release this platform on the market.
