Electronic 'skin tattoo' can let you remotely control devices

in #technology7 years ago

Scientists have developed ultrathin electronic skin tattoos that can help control virtual and physical objects with mere hand gestures.
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 both in the physical world and in augmented or virtual reality with mere gestures, similar to how we use a smartphone now.
