Engineers created thread sensors that can be attached to skin to degree movement in genuine time,with potential implications for tracking health and performance Engineers at Tufts University have created and demonstrated flexible thread-based sensors that can degree movement of the neck, providing data on the direction, or angle of rotation and degree of displacement of the head. The discovery raises the potential for thin,inconspicuous tatoo-like patches that could, according to the Tufts team, and degree athletic performance,monitor worker or driver fatigue, assist with physical therapy, and enhance virtual reality games and systems,and improve computer generated imagery in cinematography.
