It has the most direct impact on standard virtual reality technology, whether it's a game or a learning experience. However, in addition to VR, electronic skin technology can dramatically change the current capabilities of augmented reality (AR).
According to Futurism, a newly developed technology could revolutionize the future of virtual reality (VR). Known as electronic skin (so-called e-skin), this technology is a soft, flexible, wearable technology that allows users to manipulate objects that exist only in the virtual world. Research published in the journal Science Advances shows how this electronic skin interacts with magnets.
"e-skin" is a film that can be worn on the hand and manipulates the object by interacting with nearby magnets. The voltage will vary depending on the angle of the wearer's hand. Specially designed software can control each incremental angle to enable the wearer's hand movements to execute specific commands. The use of this technology includes turning off the virtual light switch and typing on the virtual keyboard, both of which work very well.

Research author Gilbert SanTIago Canon Bermudez, a researcher at the HZDR Institute in Germany, said that electronic skin is not a substitute for existing virtual reality technology. More likely, it will be blended with other VR-compatible technologies to create a more interactive experience.
Existing VR devices use cameras to detect and track motion. Although this method may improve over time, its resolution is not high enough to perform subtle movements in fingers and other finer gestures. With the introduction of this electronic skin, these subtle movements can be detected not only, but also manipulated and interacted with the virtual environment.
Obviously, its impact on standard virtual reality technology is the most direct, whether it is a game or a learning experience. However, in addition to VR, electronic skin technology can dramatically change the current capabilities of augmented reality (AR). With AR technology, you may see that the world around you may not have physical objects. With electronic skin, you may operate and interact with these virtual objects in the future.
In addition to these interesting applications, electronic skin can also be equipped with prosthetics to make it easier to manipulate virtual technology. Electronic skin can also be incorporated into prosthetic devices and even soft robots. In dangerous situations or high-risk jobs, this technology can be used for virtual buttons, controllers or doors that can be operated without physical contact. For those who deal with explosives or other particularly dangerous jobs, this may reduce the likelihood of injury.
Currently, the electronic skin developed by researchers relies on the magnetic field created by the refrigerator magnet. They are moving into smaller areas so that technology can be used to control more subtle gestures.
