Presented case of artificial human skin. You can pinch and tickle

Marc Tessier of the Paris Institute of Technology and his colleagues developed a case of artificial human skin. This creepy-looking accessory will not only protect your phone, but also offer a new way to express their emotions.

Due to the special interface called Skin-On such an accessory can recognize pinching, blows or tickling. For example, blow case is regarded as an expression of anger, tapping finger - how to attract attention and stroking - how exhilarating.

On the basis of artificial leather engineers have created not only the case for a smartphone, but also a touchpad for laptops and smart strap for hours. While the skin itself exists in two forms - with conventional and hyper realistic surface.

As used in its base material consists of two silicon layers and sandwiched between the copper wires. Complementing all this special microcontroller that can read the press and any pressure. In the future, engineers are planning to make it even more realistic skin, hair, and adding the temperature characteristics.

Note that this is not the first strange novelty Marc Tessier. Before that, he created scary robotic finger that allows the smartphone to crawl on the table.
