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. ... >>

Exercise bike for the metaverse 29.04.2022

Cardio Healthcare, the maker of fitness accessories under the Cardio brand, has unveiled the world's first exercise bike integrated into its own Cardio HUB metaverse. We are talking about a Metabike device that must be connected to a TV or tablet in order to gain access to the virtual space through a special application.

It is proposed to use a Bluetooth connection to synchronize the exercise bike and the user device. During training, users can complete various tasks in the metaverse, while earning up to $30 per month in Cardio Points, which can be used to pay for services and goods of the company.

"People can train on the Metabike against users from all over the world in virtual races, ride through scenic landscapes, watch their favorite shows and dive into the leading metaverses while tracking their workouts and earning rewards for their fitness," said the CEO. Cardio Healthcare director Daniel Park.

The Metabike uses game controllers and pedals to keep track of actual speed, torque and distance traveled during a workout. In the future, the developers intend to add the ability to connect to the metaverse of the Metarun treadmills, which are currently being tested in some fitness gyms in South Korea.
