09/04/2024 – Virtual skin contact

Smart textiles are making remote hugs tangible

The team led by Professors Stefan Seelecke and Paul Motzki from Saarland University is presenting an innovative technology at the Hannover Messe, which makes it possible to feel touch in virtual reality. With the help of wafer-thin silicone films that can transmit touch sensations, smart textiles are intended to create a kind of second skin.

At Hannover Messe, the team will be demonstrating their technology with a “watch” that has a smart film applied to its back. PhD student Sipontina Croce and student Lukas Roth (right) are conducting research into textiles that incorporate smart films. © Oliver Dietze/Saarland University
