'e-Skin'
'e-Skin' is an ongoing project that aims to develop a novel type of wearable and interactive interface which mimics the sensory capabilities of the human skin. The e-Skin lab in Zurich combines research expertise from the fields of human computer interaction, wearable computing, biomimetic robotics and ergonomic design. One of the intended applications for e-Skin is as an aid for the visually impaired to provide tactile and acoustic cues to help them to navigate complex environments.
