Eyecam, the prototype “human” webcam that makes my skin crawl
A webcam made of “flesh, bone and fur”; with lots of eyebrows? Eyecam is scary, and a lot. But it can be damn useful to us.

A special UV lamp allows the production of natural vitamin D. A useful tool for the elderly.
A research team has developed electronic skin that reacts to pain just like human skin.
The skin of fish (specifically: cod) used to regenerate human skin and repair wounds? Yes, without rejection and with many advantages (but it costs).
A soft artificial skin capable of sensing "pain" thanks to a series of sensors can greatly improve empathy between robots and humans. But will it be enough?
Great possibilities from using a bio-ink. A portable device prints human skin to repair wounds and test drugs: in the future even the damage of time.
The University of Texas studies and combines new materials to cover buildings with an intelligent metallic skin capable of interacting with the environment.
Opte is an electronic concealer that literally prints a filter on the skin to remove its imperfections and heal it over time. The effect is stunning.
In less than a minute, human skin is printed with a lot of texture. The printable material is based on skin cells and collagen.
Imagine a thermometer that shows a patient's temperature with figures appearing directly on his temple. The flexible skin display is reality.
Imperial College researchers have invented a hybrid robot that requires just 0.2 grams of calcium carbide to use water as a fuel
It's a new paradigm: doctors can abandon gauze and bandages, instantly acting directly on the skin to repair wounds and burns.
The fabric incorporates a recently discovered material, polyglycerol sebacate, which is compatible with human tissue. This material can help the body produce new skin and repair wounds or cuts.
Interest is growing in this challenge that intersects biology, design, fashion and respect for animals and nature.
MIT in Boston, Massachusetts has successfully created the first artificial skin. This new development could lead to huge advances in prosthetic technology and treatments for burns and other skin injuries. How is artificial leather made? Artificial skin is made from sheets of collagen that have been coated with a special type of sugar molecule. When this artificial skin is implanted under human skin, it bonds with the natural tissue of… Read more
SkinTrack is an innovative system that will allow us to make our own skin "touchable", to control the smartwatch using the user's arm. All thanks to a ring that emits a signal and communicates with a detection band attached to the watch. When the finger wearing the ring touches the skin, a high-frequency electrical signal will spread across the arm, a signal then picked up by four pairs of electrodes positioned in the band. We don't yet know when this technology will be commercialized, but the timing could... Read more
The robots of the future will not have skin inspired by human skin, but decidedly better, more similar to that of an octopus. This special type of skin lights up and changes color if it is touched, it is elastic and can stretch up to 500%, it senses touch and pressure. Not bad for a robot. This is the first hi-tech skin inspired by the octopus, which could make the robots of the future camouflage. The skin of the future was described in the journal Science. This is the invention from… Read more
Israel exploited the technologies of Google Photos and the startup Corsight to register Palestinians in Gaza after October 7. Arbitrary interrogations and arrests.
The humanoid robot uses AI to predict and replicate human smiles. And smile sooner, making interactions more natural.
The new communication networks use microchips the size of a grain of salt, which can be implanted in the body or in wearable devices.
Researchers at the University of Oxford have cataloged more than 4.400 naturally preserved human brains, some dating back 12.000 years, challenging the idea that they are extremely rare.
