American nanoengineers have taken a major step towards the development of "smart gloves" by creating electronic fingers which can be molded into the shape of a hand and can transmit electric signals to the brain. The team hopes to one day incorporate the devices into a smart glove that creates virtual sensations, fooling the brain into feeling everything from texture to temperature.

Flexible "Smart Gloves" can Trick Brain by Stimulating Sense of Touch
American nanoengineers have taken a major step towards the development of "smart gloves" by creating electronic fingers which can be molded into the shape of a hand and can transmit electric signals to the brain. The team hopes to one day incorporate the devices into a smart glove that creates virtual sensations, fooling the brain into feeling everything from texture to temperature.
