Shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its own movement as it bends and twists
MIT engineers developed a flexible, shape-sensing sheet that digitally reconstructs its own form as it bends and twists. The sheet could be fashioned into a soft and pliable garment that a user could comfortably wear to physically control a video game character or a tele-operated robot, or to collect data during physical therapy.
Summary
MIT engineers have created a flexible sheet that can track its shape in real-time as it bends and twists. This technology has potential applications in wearable garments for controlling video game characters or robots, as well as aiding in physical therapy.
