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.
