Sense of Touch

Researchers have found a fascinating property in the metamaterial: the ability to hide or "cloak" the existence of foreign objects hidden within it. It works by being able to disperse the pressure from the other object so that it cannot be detected. It's a discovery that could lead to making everything from more comfortable camping gear to shoes that make you feel like you're walking on air. Of course there is the other side of the coin when people will want to hide things using this material. It might be able to cloak any weapons that someone might be trying to hide. Link this technology with software development or even mobile applications and the possibility become even more endless. Where do you think that this type of tech is headed?

  1. I think if software development is able to keep up with this technology, it would not go down the dark path.
