Lightweight Wireless Electronic Skin
Dec-07-19
A wireless electronic skin that transmits haptic feedback to the wearer could lead to a new generation of VR devices and social media applications.The electronic skin was developed by the team from City University Hong Kong with the goal of mimicking human skin, and measures only 3 mm thick. Thanks to an advanced mechanical design, the haptic actuators embedded in the lightweight, tight-fitting skin can be powered by less than 2 milliwatts, compared to the 100 milliwatts demanded by current systems. This low power need allows the skin to be powered via radio frequency, eliminating the need for wires.
The electronic skin could have significant applications in virtual reality games and social media interactions, and well a bringing a sense of touch to prostheses users.
