So often, we use control devices for electronics that involve our fingers directly grasping, touching, or moving another object or surface. It’s less common for us to use interfaces that detect the ...

This work proposes a novel lower-limb motion capture system that, for the first time, combines a flexible pressure sensor ...

Finger Bend is a unique DIY Arduino powered textile flex sensor, created as part of the Swatch Exchange, enabling you to trigger actions by simply bending your finger. Created by the team at Willpower ...

Motion capture technology is a key enabler for the digitalization of the human body in VR/AR/MR, film production, and sports rehabilitation, and has attracted broad interdisciplinary attention.

A team of engineers at the University of Delaware is developing next-generation smart textiles by creating flexible carbon nanotube composite coatings on a wide range of fibers, including cotton, ...

If you have a project in mind that requires some sort of gesture input or precise movements, it might become a nettlesome problem to tackle. Fear this obstacle no longer: a team from the Wyss ...

Traditional FR4 PCBs and wires don't work for every application that needs electronics, especially not for those with soft surfaces. But even flexible PCBs and other flex circuits aren't always soft ...

A chemical sensor based on polymer nanostructures can detect nerve gas at concentrations as low as 10 parts per trillion (Nano Lett., DOI: 10.1021/nl204587t). With further development, the flexible ...

Picture a rectangle of fabric cut from a standard grey t-shirt. It’s stretchier than most tees, because it’s made from a mix of nylon and spandex, not cotton. And it stands out in another way, too: If ...
