IIT Guwahati researchers develop water repellent material for wearable motion sensors

The sensors can monitor different human motions and expressions and are sensitive enough to differentiate between smiling and laughing and even detect swallowing motions.

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Researchers have developed a novel water repellent material that can be used for real-time monitoring of human movements. The material developed is flexible, non-stretchable and environmentally friendly that can detect low strains with high sensitivity.
