A sensing system called SAWSense takes advantage of acoustic waves traveling along the surface of an object to enable touch inputs to devices almost everywhere. Here, a table is used to power a laptop's trackpad. Image credit: Interactive Sensing and Computing Lab, University of Michigan Study:
A team of medical engineers at Cornell University has developed a knitted glove that is designed to treat hand edema, where fluid accumulation leads to
A VR accessory called JumpMod can make users feel like they are jumping higher or landing harder, just by moving a weight on their back
A new system "will enable you to treat, for example, the whole surface of your body like an interactive surface," says Yasha Iravantchi.
A newly developed method for recording and examining surface-acoustic waves could allow almost any object to serve as a touch input device and further power privacy-sensitive sensing systems.
