The team's invention will further advance the applications of tactile sensors, which are already increasingly utilised for monitoring critical parameters in biomedical applications, especially for those that may come in contact with human skin or where human movement is highly versatile.

Tactile sensors are data acquisition devices that detect and measure a diversity of properties arising from physical interaction and translate the information acquired to be analysed by an interconnected intelligent system.

Conventional tactile sensors that are available today are typically rigid and in solid - state form, restricting various natural body movements when used and may also be subjected to plastic deformation and failure when pressure is exerted, resulting in compromises in conformability, durability and overall robustness.

Researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have created tactile sensors from composite films of carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles similar to the highly sensitive whiskers of cats and rats.

S. Ramachandran, director of the Center for Brain and Cognition and distinguished professor in the Department of Psychology at UC San Diego.

It can range from ordinary personal computers controlled by a mouse where house buyers can «walk» through a property on an estate agent's computer, to supercomputers simulating total immersion in an imaginary world, with every move of the participant's body picked up by sensors, and with sound and tactile effects to enhance the experience.

It uses a combination of touchscreens, capacitive sensors and tactile physical controls to operate key functions.

As far as port, sensor, and button placement is concerned: on the back, we have our main camera sensor and a LED flash, there's no heart - rate sensor on the A series; on the front, we have our proximity and ambient light sensors, a front - facing camera, earpiece, display, back and recent app capacitive keys, and a home button with an integrated touch - based fingerprint sensor (A5 and A7 only); on the bottom, there's a microphone, 3.5 mm headphone jack, MicroUSB port, and the speaker grille; on the top, we have nothing other than the secondary microphone, and, just like the new GS7, there's no IR blaster on board; and the volume buttons are located on the left side of the aluminium frame, while the power button is located on the right side — all three buttons are very tactile with excellent reachability and positioning.
