The bioinspired haptic (BAMH) system works by simulating all four touch receptors in the human finger using vibrations at different speeds and strengths across multiple areas.
The team behind the device said they believe they have the technology to create a glove, which could eventually enable remote social interaction and the feeling of holding a hand.
The sense of touch is the least known of all of our senses, and it is because of the complexities. Skin is one of the biggest organs that we have in our bodies and provides several types of information.
One area where the device can be used is in social applications - for instance, with the pandemic and globalisation, it's very likely that you have family that is not living in the same town as you.
