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. ... >>

Apple Pencil 17.11.2015

Who needs a stylus for a tablet? No one needs! Under Steve Jobs, Apple strictly adhered to this principle. But still he appeared - Apple Pencil.

The $99 Apple Pencil is only compatible with the new 12,9-inch iPad Pro, starting at $799. These numbers alone can scare off a potential buyer, although Apple never ceases to amaze that even at such prices, their gadgets are sold out like hot cakes.

Technically, the Apple Pencil is hard to fault. The device is a so-called active stylus. This means that the stylus's conductive tip not only powers the capacitive touch display, but also transmits its position and position to the iPad at the same time, 240 times per second. This makes some features available.

For example, if you hold the stylus at an angle in pencil mode, you can use it for hatching as if you were using a real pencil. This is possible due to the tilt sensors built into the stylus. Of course, the gadget needs electricity to transfer data, so the Lightning connector is installed on its other end, which connects the stylus to the iPad.

A full charge of the built-in battery should last for twelve hours of battery life, and a 15-second recharge - for 30 minutes. For a stylus that is unlikely to be used all the time, this is quite enough.

However, just as well as Apple managed to integrate 3D Touch technology into its iOS 9 operating system, Apple Pencil support at the software level looks just as underdeveloped. Of course, the stylus works in the note-taking application, but its practical use is actually limited to this, so Apple has partnered with Adobe and Microsoft.

Adobe is integrating stylus support into iOS apps like Photoshop Sketch for drawing. In it, the user can experience all the possibilities of the stylus. These include, for example, a virtual ruler for drawing straight lines. Even fingers can be used as a ruler when touched.

Microsoft, in turn, equips its Office for iOS programs with an ink drawing function, through which you can supplement digital documents with notes and freehand drawings. Sounds practical, but if you open such a document on a non-iPad Pro, you'll end up with a graphic-heavy Word file.

Thus, Apple Pencil should be considered rather as a reserve for the future. If more apps and future iOS devices support this accessory, then it definitely has a right to exist. And now we can only guess who is in the target audience of the $99 stylus.

Designers and people in other creative professions work mainly with graphic tablets without a screen, using a PC monitor as a display medium. And for amateurs who need to quickly make notes and drawings, there is no need to spend money on such an expensive accessory.
