Exoskin Material Changes Shape to Communicate

Jun-06-16 The innovative Exoskin material from the team at MIT’s Media Group will change shape on command, offering new ways to deliver tactile information.

The material is made up of silicon-based tessellated triangles that are mounted atop layers of flexible air bladders. Inflating the bladder will cause the material to change shape as desired, and the system can be programmed to react automatically to send data, respond to touch or even shift function.
