New ‘tattoos’ lets your control objects remotely 

Context:

Scientists have developed ultra thin electronic skin tattoos that can help control virtual and physical objects with mere hand gestures

Introduction:

• The extremely thin, almost invisible foil that sticks to the palm of the hand like a second skin, have sensors which provide people with a “sixth sense” for magnetic fields.
• These sensors will enable people to manipulate everyday objects or control appliances with mere gestures, similar to how we use a smartphone now.
• Using this technique, the researchers managed to control a virtual light bulb on a computer screen in a touchless way.
