Samsung is currently developing a new technology that allows the user to feel the different sensory effects that he is exposed to within virtual experiences in VR, and the ESKIN technology, which is an artificial skin that transmits the sensation of pain, heat, pressure and other feelings related to the human skin.
The South Korean company is collaborating with Professor Enryong Jeong, a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the POSTECH research institute, as Samsung will provide five-year support to Jeong’s project under the Future Technology Promotion Project.
Professor Jeong pointed out that the human skin is a very complex organ due to its direct connection to the brain through a sophisticated system of nerves, explaining that simulating human skin in a manufactured image is a difficult task and requires effort and long development, but he pointed out that scientific research that focuses on The design and production of artificial leather is very promising.
ESKIN technology provides a great leap for users of virtual reality glasses by improving their experience within the virtual worlds that they interact with inside their glasses. Which will create a richer interactive experience that will become more realistic.
Jeong also demonstrated one of the applications that his new technology, ESKIN, will be directed to in a new video restaurant on YouTube. And the condition of the patients’ body in terms of the pain of lying in bed for long periods, as it is possible to follow the strength and intensity of pressure to which the patient’s back is exposed during his stay in bed for a long time through a mobile phone application.
The video clip also indicated that the new technology could be used to monitor the status of vital variables in newborns, such as heart rate and body temperature from a distance, as well as follow their sleep pattern easily and with high accuracy.
