Most of the keyboards we see in our daily life are hardware that is more complicated. The structure mainly includes "spring", "panel", "glue layer" and "control circuit". However, scientists at the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed a streamlined, programmable keyboard using a flexible, flexible, and retractable rubber, also known as "dielectric elastomer" (dielectric elastomer). ()).
This keyboard prototype consists of two sensing layers and a laminated structure. Its surface is divided into 9 different sensing areas, and 9 programmable buttons can be created.
It is similar to the programmable on-screen keyboard we saw on touch-screen devices, but with a flexible and almost playable attribute bonus (know that most touch-screen devices are very unsuccessful).
The author of the paper, Daniel Xu, explained the doorway for us:
In essence, it is a very thin layer of rubber. It can be wrapped around any object and then used as a keyboard.
It also integrates a layer of sensory skin and is used for motion capture. It is very useful for athletes, clinicians, and new interactive attitude controllers.
The paper also pointed out that the number of buttons or sensing areas of the rubber keyboard and the layout of the buttons can be easily changed by programming without the need to lay new cables or any other hardware changes.
This kind of keyboard is often seen in video games, and the researchers have also made a glove made of the same material, which will be quite wonderful with the shooting game.
The University of Auckland's Bionics Lab has spun off a company called StretchSense to develop wearable/sensing technology and other products based on this research.
His paper has been published in the recently published journal Smart Materials and Structures.
