Wearable device mimics human touch

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more. Now, Northwestern University engineers have unveiled a new technology that creates precise movements to mimic these complex sensations. While sitting on the skin, the compact, lightweight, wireless device applies force in any direction to generate a variety of sensati…
