A wearable device so thin and soft you won’t even notice it
Wearable human-machine interfaces have benefited from advances in electronics, materials and mechanical designs. But current models still can be bulky and uncomfortable, and they can’t always handle multiple functions at one time. Researchers have now reported the discovery of a multifunctional ultra-thin wearable electronic device that is imperceptible to the wearer. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com…
