#13 Technology | Capturing the sense of touch | 運用"科技"重拾觸覺感受

現今的科技可以將觸覺建立在真實或虛擬的情境下，譬如:人們可以在網購時，透過電腦碰觸到商品的材質，或是在VR遊戲中，摸到情境裡的物品。更厲害的是，這一項科技也能讓失去手臂的截肢患者及身障者受惠。近日美國猶他大學（University of Utah）的研究團隊，成功研發一款讓使用者能感受到觸覺，同時也可透過大腦進行操作的機械義肢，並發布於《科學機器人》（Science Robotics）期刊。 Vocabulary: *Prosthetics (n.)義肢 *Sensor (n.)感官 *Trigger (v.)引發；觸發 Virtual reality (n.)虛擬實境 Invention (n.)發明 Cells(n.)細胞 Equivalent(adj.)相等的 Let's Read an article - 好文分享: 📚Title : Capturing the sense of touch could upgrade prosthetics and our digital lives 📚Author : ScienceNews 🌍Link: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/touch-sense-tech-haptics-prosthetics-digital 🎥The Discussion Question from This Episode: If you are a scientist, in what kind of situations do you think we can use this technology? ✏️Upload Your Worksheet and Share Your Answer With Us: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeS4V7jc_kFneAE6y7YTGGkO47g4AiHOSuRd6POUQubfuAbZQ/viewform Photo by Nijwam Swargiary on Unsplash -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
