This post is a refresh on the basics of reading values from a flex sensor… A flex sensor, also called a bend sensor, can be used to detect a deflection by measuring the change in resistance that ...

Finger Bend is a unique DIY Arduino powered textile flex sensor, created as part of the Swatch Exchange, enabling you to trigger actions by simply bending your finger. Created by the team at Willpower ...

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

So often, we use control devices for electronics that involve our fingers directly grasping, touching, or moving another object or surface. It’s less common for us to use interfaces that detect the ...

A team of Cornell students recently built a prototype electronic glove that can detect sign language and speak the characters out loud. The glove is designed to work with a variety of hand sizes, but ...

A new bending camera captures images on a flexible sheet. The innovative technique suggests a future of cameras as thin as paper and as pliable as cloth. To get to a viable “flexible camera” concept, ...

The world's first full-color, high-resolution and wireless flexible smartphone to combine multitouch with bend input has been developed by researchers. Researchers at Queen's University's Human Media ...

Flexible smartphones are still a ways off, but a new prototype phone gives us our best look at what such devices could be capable of. Created by a group of researchers from Queen's University's Human ...
