Wearable Tech Brings Touch to Life
⊲ New Atlas ⊳ Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a compact, wireless device that applies dynamic forces to the skin, simulating a realistic sense of touch. Worn on the skin, it can generate sensations such as vibrations, stretching, pressure, sliding, and twisting. This advancement has potential applications in virtual reality, assistance for individuals with visual impairments, and remote health consultations.
