An 16-by-16 pixel interactive e-skin created by UC Berkeley engineers. Organic LEDs light up when touched.
Researchers from the University of California-Berkeley have created a flexible 16×16 pixel screen, dubbed "e-skin," that lights up where it is touched. If more pressure is applied, it glows brighter.
The team behind the "e-skin" believe future iterations of the interface could be used for car dashboards, mobile displays, or even "interactive wallpaper." These wallpapers could that double as touchscreen displays and dashboard laminates that allow drivers to adjust electronic controls with the wave of a hand.The team also believes it could give robots a more precise sense of touch.
