Flexible sensors ride the new race track of meta universe

Experts in the industry generally believe that the meta universe is at an early stage. Although the prospect is attractive, most interviewees also believe that the current meta universe is still at an early stage, and the technical limitations are the biggest bottleneck facing the development of the meta universe in China, especially the infrastructure information such as mobile communication, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., which needs to be improved urgently.
The meta universe depicts the beautiful illusion of human interaction with the digital world - let's take a look at the cutting-edge development of this flexible sensor that makes science fiction a reality.

 
Sensor is a device that converts external signals into electrical signals and other information that can be used by human beings, which is particularly important in today's intelligent information age. The digital world and the physical world are connected more realistically and exquisitely through sensors.
In addition to cameras, microphones, VR and ARs, flexible pressure sensors are giving humans skin and tactile functions in the digital world.
At present, most of the sensors on the market are composed of metal conductors or semiconductors, which are widely used in various electronic devices. However, due to its large mass and rigidity, it cannot cope with complex contact surfaces, which limits its application in lightweight, portable and other scenes.
In addition, sensors are generally faced with power supply problems such as cyclic charging, regular maintenance and battery replacement, which greatly limits the application of sensing equipment. In order to solve the above problems, the development of flexible and self powered sensors has become a hotspot in the field of sensor research.
The flexible sensor has a broad application prospect because of its flexibility and no need of external power supply. At present, the research at home and abroad is mainly focused on high-end fields such as wearable devices and electronic skin. In addition, it has good research potential in the fields of environmental monitoring, sports and games.
This is the most perfect cornerstone of the meta universe In order to truly realize the perception and experience of the meta universe, the "electronic skin" with flexible sensors as the key technology has been listed as a hot research technology.
 
【Related applications】
（1）wearable sensor
Wearable sensor is one of the important application directions of flexible sensor. It is often used in health management and medical field, such as pulse detection, respiration, etc.
（2）Electronic skin
Flexible electronic skin has been widely used in the field of human skin tactility and thermal response. Electronic skin can be attached to the surface of human body or robot like clothes, and can be processed into various shapes to meet the needs of applications and imitate human senses, so as to realize the detection of human physiological information and robot intelligence.
For skin, tactile sensing and thermal sensing are the most important, so flexible sensors are widely concerned in this field.  
Not only the concept, but also serve the real life. In the movie Player 1, as soon as the male owner gets gold coins, he buys himself an electronic skin that can be worn on his body.
Nowadays, the "electronic skin" full of sensors has also existed in reality, and has become a field of concern in the tuyere of the meta universe with constant updates and iterations.
