New wearable tech creates realistic touch
Engineers have created a new wearable technology which mimics a range of complex sensations.
They say the haptic technology, which creates the experience of touch goes beyond previous technologies which are limited to vibrations.
Human skin has all sorts of sensors which detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more.
The researchers at Northwestern University have made a small wireless device which sits on the skin and can produce a range of sensation including vibrations, stretching, pressure, sliding and twisting.
