What if you could see how much pressure you are applying through touch? 🤔

Led by Professor Lim Chwee Teck from the NUS Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Institute for Health Innovation & Technology (iHealthtech), NUS researchers have made that possible with the eLuminator — an ultrathin electronic skin that lights up under pressure, revealing the shape and distribution of touch in real time. With the ability to capture even individual fingerprint ridges, it enables a more responsive human-machine interface and easier integration into wearable and biomedical technologies in healthcare.
