   MIT engineers create a "second skin" that could one day track whole bodies in VR

   MIT engineers have created a flexible sheet that, though currently a bulky prototype, could one day be worn like a second skin. It aims to more accurately track the transformation of a surface rather than the movement of fixed points on a traditional motion capture suit, potentially enabling whole-body tracking in VR.

   MIT engineers have created a 'second skin' that could one day track whole bodies in VR

   Engineers at MIT have developed a sheet full of optical fibres that can digitally reconstruct its own shape even as it is flexed and folded, and the team reckons it could be fashioned into a garment for accurately mirroring real-world movements in a game. The algorithm reconstructs the sheet's movement with a margin of error of less than 0.4 centimeters, compared with around 1 to 2 centimeters for existing rigid-sensor designs. The team plans to trim down the prototype, whose optical fibres currently measure 1 millimetre thick, and says the tech could also aid patients undergoing physical therapy.

The trend compares the same fully observed sources, so its range can be smaller than the current heat. Move the pointer or click for each hour. Left and right arrow keys move the point.
