Wearable Tech Lets Users “Feel”

⊲ SciTechDaily ⊳ Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a thin, flexible device that adheres to the skin, providing haptic feedback through a hexagonal array of 19 actuators. It enables users to experience vibrations, pressure, and twisting, enhancing virtual reality and gaming experiences. The technology developed in the study is also suited for healthcare applications and can help visually impaired individuals navigate their surroundings through sensory substitution.
