Beyond Sensible Shoes Smart Skin, still in development, is made of a flexible material embedded with microsensors that mimic the signal sending of nerve cells. The sensors, which wirelessly communicate with receiving devices, can already monitor temperature and infrared radiation and are expected to detect pressure, touch, and even vital signs. |
